Résumé:
When Andy Grundberg landed in New York in the early 1970s as a budding writer, photography was at the margins of the contemporary art world. By 1991, when he left his post as critic for the New York Times, photography was at the vital center of artistic debate. Grundberg writes eloquently and authoritatively about photography’s 'boom years,' chronicling the medium’s increasing role within the most important art movements of the time, from Earth Art and Conceptual Art to performance and video. He also traces photography’s embrace by museums and galleries, as well as its politicization in the culture wars of the 80s and 90s.

Résumé:
Rappel historique des premières constructions des Autochtones et de celles des pionniers qui étaient en harmonie avec leur environnement. Ce film, réalisé trois ans après la crise pétrolière de 1973, présente quelques innovations en planification urbaine illustrées à partir de l'exemple des communautés minières de Fermont au Quéébec et de Leaf Rapids au Manitoba. Ces villes ont été planifiées en fonction du climat nordique et de l'utilisation minimale de l'automobile. Du côté innovation architecturale, on voit la construction de la maison solaire Provident House à Aurora en Ontario, ainsi que la maison The Ark à l'Île-du-Prince-Edouard qui permettra un mode de vie autarcique.

Résumé:
Originally broadcast in April and May of 1998. Hosted by executive producer Tom Hanks, the miniseries tackles the daunting challenge of chronicling the entire history of NASA's Apollo space program from 1961 to 1972. For the most part, it's a rousing success. Some passages are flatly chronological, awkwardly wedging an abundance of factual detail into a routine dramatic structure. But each episode is devoted to a crucial aspect of the Apollo program. The cumulative effect is a deep and thorough appreciation of NASA's monumental achievement. With the help of a superlative cast, consistent writing, and a stable of talented directors, Hanks has shared his infectious enthusiasm for space exploration and the inspiring power of conquering the final frontier. 12 épisodes, 12 heures.
