Résumé:
In this sequel to "Good News (always read the fine print)", photographer Jordi Bernadó revamps his personal viewpoint in order to make another tour around the world and to demonstrate that the details hidden in minute type at the bottom of the page can and should be read. The shanty towns of Brazil, the peep shows of Barcelona, the beaches of Cape Town and Sydney, the downtown core of Detroit, the ruins of Bucharest, and the subterranean world of Nagoya coalesce here to form a unique landscape. Reproduced in pairs, juxtaposing images from joint but different trips, the photographs in "Very Very Bad News" share a single fixation: contriving, by means of what can be read between two images, to accentuate the insistence on portraying the black side of apparent normality.

Résumé:
Dans ce dialogue philosophique et géographique, Augustin Berque et Damien Deville nous invitent à reposer les pieds sur Terre en considérant autrement les territoires dans lesquels nous vivons. Car une géographie fondée sur des cartes froides, par trop quantitatives et qui séparent les individus de leur « environnement », entretient une opposition qui n’a pas lieu d’être.(...)

Résumé:
Dans ce dialogue philosophique et géographique, Augustin Berque et Damien Deville nous invitent à reposer les pieds sur Terre en considérant autrement les territoires dans lesquels nous vivons. Car une géographie fondée sur des cartes froides, par trop quantitatives et qui séparent les individus de leur « environnement », entretient une opposition qui n’a pas lieu d’être. « L’être se crée en créant son milieu. » Rendre compte de cette réciprocité et des liens qui rattachent chaque lieu à celles et ceux qui s’y épanouissent, en utilisant d’autres noms et d’autres représentations, c’est se donner les moyens de veiller sur l’ensemble des milieux terrestres. Du Japon à la France, les deux grands géographes mobilisent les paysages qu’ils ont parcourus et étudiés pour que nous puissions à notre tour porter un regard éclairé sur le monde.

Résumé:
"I Am Almost Always Hungry" is the first monograph on the work of Cahan & Associates, a San Francisco based design agency. The firm's working methods, involving extensive exploration, collaboration, and play, are documented in this monograph through interviews with founder Bill Cahan, clients, and vendors; writings by colleagues; photo essays; proposals to clients that were accepted and rejected; and finished pieces, providing a portrait of a firm for whom process is just as important as product. Cahan & Associates, founded in 1984, works on projects ranging from packaging and annual reports to posters, websites, and corporate identity programs, with clients including Coca-Cola, Sun Microsystems, and the U.S. Postal Service. The book is a tour-de-force of production itself: printed on twelve different kinds of papers, the entire book is French-folded.

Résumé:
The rise and fall of this highly embellished idiom, which culminated in its denouncement as aesthetically and morally suspect — "a freak of fancy" — are traced in this, the first comprehensive study devoted to the history of American artistic printing. Authors Douglas Clouse and Angela Voulangas explore the style's origins in the British Aesthetic Movement and analyze its distinctive features : idiosyncratic color harmonies, eclectic choice of type and ornament, compartmentalized compositional strategies. They also present a landmark portfolio of letterpress printing samples, drawn from some of the most important public and private print archives. More than 150 examples of period ephemera, printers' own tour de force promotional pieces, and specimens of type and ornament are reproduced, many for the very first time since their initial circulation more than a century ago.

Résumé:
Le livre explore les relations entre l'architecture et les engins plus légers ou plus lourds que l'air : ballons, dirigeables, avions... Des historiens, des architectes, des photographes rendent compte de l'apport de la photographie aérienne; notent l'influence de l'esthétique des avions sur l'architecture; examinent l'évolution des premiers hangars vers les aérodromes d'aujourd'hui; analysent les répercussions de la vision élevée depuis la Tour Eiffel et les premiers aéroplanes sur l'art moderne et sur des artistes comme Blaise Cendrars, Guillaume Apollinaire, Hans Arp, Kasimir Malevitch... Enfin le livre expose quelques travaux du plus aérien des artistes contemporains, l'anversois Panamarenko (nom d'artiste composé à partir de l'abréviation de "Pan American Airlines and company"). En 1967, celui-ci construit son premier avion qui inaugure une longue série d'objets volants conservés aujourd'hui dans les plus grands musées d'art contemporain.

Résumé:
"L'homme est la nature prenant conscience d'elle-même", annonce le frontispice de l'Homme et la Terre, dernier livre d’Élisée Reclus (1830-1905) publié juste après sa mort. Dix ans plus tôt, il présentait un "projet de globe terrestre" monumental : 200m de haut et 20 million de francs. Conçu pour l'Exposition universelle de 1900, il aurait dû, au temps des colonies, des panoramas et des zoos humains, se tenir au sommet de la Colline de Chaillot, face à la tour Eiffel... Étrange expérience bachelardienne que ces caves et greniers de l'Univers, à la foisgéode, palais de la découverte et planétarium de notre propre sol habité! Ses trois sphères auraient fièrement reflété l'aspiration d'un géographe libertaire qui, exilé de France après la Commune, voyait la Terre comme un trait d'union entre les hommes...

Résumé:
Over the past 20 years, there has been a resurgence of city building in Toronto that has not been seen since the buoyant optimism of the 1960s. The cultural renaissance has increased awareness of design and of the market for cultural tourism in Toronto. A Guidebook to Contemporary Architecture in Toronto provides a perspective on this process of cultural and architectural transformation, and the selected projects reflect contemporary tendencies, aspirations and attitudes towards city building. Each project is featured on a two-page spread with a concise, descriptive text, project information, photographs and drawings. The projects are organized by neighbourhood and allow the reader to take a self-guided tour. Maps at the introduction of each neighbourhood provide context, and an index provides easy referencing of projects throughout.

Résumé:
In the nineteenth century, Rutland was the center of a booming marble industry. By the early twentieth century, the Vermont Marble Company was considered the largest U.S. corporation in the world. Today, the region of southwestern Vermont that runs from Middlebury in the north to Dorset in the south is still called "the Marble Valley," and visitors flock every year to tour the Vermont Marble Museum and the International Carving Studio and to picnic in the quarries. In this first comprehensive history, Mike Austin chronicles the hardships, religious lives, labor struggles and triumphs of the Marble Valley's workers and industrious settlers. Complete with excerpts from firsthand accounts and news clippings, this wide-scoping history gives an intimate portrayal of the men and women who shaped the Vermont Marble Valley and made it their home.
