Résumé:
The United Kingdom has sixteen nuclear power stations. Most go under the radar, but their presence is enormous, both physically and culturally. They divide opinion like nothing else. Are they relics of a past era, or a crucial part of our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom? ''Atomic Albion'' is a journey around Britain's nuclear power stations and(...)

Résumé:
The United Kingdom has sixteen nuclear power stations. Most go under the radar, but their presence is enormous, both physically and culturally. They divide opinion like nothing else. Are they relics of a past era, or a crucial part of our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom? ''Atomic Albion'' is a journey around Britain's nuclear power stations and the country itself. From the Essex marshes to the Anglesey coast, from the Dungeness shingle to the far north of Scotland, Tom Bolton explores how nuclear sites shape the places around them, and enters the impossible world of nuclear power and weapons.

Échapper aux ours polaires et aux boeufs musqués, tolérer les blessures, survivre à l’isolement. Avancer... Continuer à avancer. Les Québécois Nicolas Roulx et Guillaume Moreau ont traversé le Canada du nord au sud en canot, ski et vélo. 234 jours, près de 8 mois, c’est le temps qu’ils ont mis pour parcourir les 7 600 kilomètres, un exploit qui n’avait encore jamais été réalisé auparavant. 234 jours est le récit de cette expédition hors norme qui se lit comme un haletant roman d’aventures où l’on découvre que les pires obstacles ne sont pas ceux que l’on croit. Un périple qui se veut aussi une ode à l’immensité, à la beauté du territoire et à ceux et celles qui l’occupent depuis des millénaires.

Résumé:
Harold Sculthorpe was Principal Lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences at North East Surrey College of Technology but on his retirement left the confines of the lecture room for the freedom of the open air, determined to make every Monday a Sunday. A life long concern with the constraints placed on the individual by a host of bureaucratic bodies, and not least the State, then found expression in these short essays on the problems encountered when walking in the countryside as the military, large landowners, factory farmers and more recently the water companies conjoin to try to exclude walkers from much of the land for their own nefarious purposes.

Résumé:
Alexandra Horowitz shows us how to see the spectacle of the ordinary—to practice, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle put it, “the observation of trifles.” Structured around a series of eleven walks the author takes, mostly in her Manhattan neighborhood, On Looking features experts on a diverse range of subjects, including an urban sociologist, the well-known artist Maira Kalman, a geologist, a physician, and a sound designer. Horowitz also walks with a child and a dog to see the world as they perceive it. What they see, how they see it, and why most of us do not see the same things reveal the startling power of human attention and the cognitive aspects of what it means to be an expert observer.

Résumé:
Après un premier ouvrage consacré à Jean-François Pirson et à son travail pédagogique centré sur l’espace, la Cellule architecture poursuit cette collaboration en consacrant le troisième volume de sa collection aux marches et workshops qu’il mène depuis 2010. Dans ses workshops, cet artiste-pédagogue nous invite à expérimenter un 'corps-à-corps direct avec le territoire'. Partant d’un espace à explorer prédéfini par lui, chaque participant·e est invité·e à tracer au sens propre et au sens figuré son propre chemin, 'entre le monde et soi', 'dedans – dehors'. Cet ouvrage prolonge les intentions développées dans le premier volume : ouvrir des champs ; stimuler des expériences plastiques, kinesthésiques, ludiques et humaines accessibles à tous ; les partager.
