These essays--by journalists, historians, cultural geographers, architects, landscape architects, and planners--constitute a critical evaluation of the field's theoretical assumptions, and of the work of John Brinckerhoff Jackson, the pivotal figure in the emergence of cultural landscape studies. At the same time, they present studies of twentieth-century landscapes, from the turn-of-the-century American downtown to the corporate campus and the mini-mall.

Résumé:
L’évaporation motrice est un procédé qui permet de produire des mouvements très lents, de déplacer des masses aussi importantes qu’on le désire à une vitesse proche de celle de la croissance des plantes. Le déplacement ne se perçoit qu’en revenant quelque temps après pour se dire : "ça a bougé" comme : "ça a fleuri, l’herbe a poussé, un tel ou une telle a vieilli"… Cette(...)

Résumé:
In recent years, landscape has become increasingly recognised as a topic of central importance to a wide variety of disciplines. To a large degree this recognition has been based upon an expanding appreciation of the political aspects of landscape, its ideological character and effects. "Landscapes and Politics" is an innovative cross-disciplinary volume of new writing which brings together, in a strategic and productive encounter, a broad variety of critical work currently being done in this field. With 28 papers and five photo essays "Landscapes and Politics" presents material by scholars and practitioners from anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art history, cultural studies, English and American literature, film studies, fine art, geography, history, landscape architecture, philosophy, political science, and religious studies. As an important marker of current methodologies, research and practice across these different disciplinary areas Landscapes and Politics is an invaluable resource. It will be of interest to all those concerned with current discourses and debates on landscape and its representation.

Résumé:
"Landscape and History" explores a complex relationship over the past five centuries. The book is international and interdisciplinary in scope, drawing on material from social, economic and cultural history as well as from geography, archaeology, cultural geography, planning and landscape history. In recent years, as the author points out, there has been increasing interest in, and concern for, many aspects of landscape within British, European and wider contexts. This has included the study of the history, development and changes in our perception of landscape, as well as research into the links between past landscapes and political ideologies, economic and social structures, cartography, art and literature. There is also considerable concern at present with the need to evaluate and classify historic landscapes, and to develop policies for their conservation and management in relation to their scenic, heritage and recreational value. This is manifest not only in the designation of particularly valued areas with enhanced protection from planning developments, such as national parks and world heritage sites, but in the countryside more generally. Further, Ian D. Whyte argues, changes in European Union policies relating to agriculture, with a greater concern for the protection and sustainable management of rural landscapes, are likely to be of major importance in relation to the themes of continuity and change in the landscapes of Britain and Europe.

Jean-Pierre Barillet-Deschamps (1824-1873), premier jardinier en chef du service des promenades et plantations de la ville de Paris, est l’auteur de l’aménagement paysager de la capitale au moment de sa transformation par le préfet Haussmann. Transformant notamment les bois de Boulogne et de Vincennes, le parc Monceau, réalisant le parc des Buttes-Chaumont, il inaugure un nouveau type de jardin, caractérisé par les vallonnements, les formes sinueuses des allées et des pelouses, la richesse de la décoration végétale, qui exalte la modernité du Second Empire et de la bourgeoisie, nouvelle classe dominante. Les nouveaux jardins parisiens se font le reflet de cette société, de ses désirs, ses principes et ses valeurs; et révèlent en même temps ses faiblesses et ses contradictions. Image fidèle de la bourgeoisie parisienne, le nouveau jardin est diversement accueilli dans les pays où il est exporté: en province, à Lille, Marseille, Avignon, Hyères, ainsi qu’à l’étranger, à Genève, Milan, Turin, Vienne et Le Caire. Le jardin parisien du Second Empire caractérisera ainsi l’art des jardins du XIXè siècle, et marquera de son empreinte la plupart des réalisations paysagères du XXè siècle. Luisa Limido est née en Italie en 1964. Architecte, Docteur en géographie à l’Université de Paris I, elle a préparé une thèse sur les jardins publics parisiens sous le Second Empire. Elle travaille actuellement sur le rapport ville-nature et société dans la ville du XIXè et XXè siècles.

Résumé:
Rivers, on a long view, are alive. They are born; they change; they shift their channels; they forge new routes to the sea; they move both gradually and violently; they can teem (usually) with life; they may die a quasi-natural death; they are frequently maimed and even murdered. It is the annual flood pulse—the brief time when the river occupies the floodplain—that gives a river its vitality, but it is human engineering that kills it, suppressing the flood pulse with dams, irrigation, siltation, dikes, and levees. In demonstrating these threats to the riverine world, award-winning author James C. Scott examines the life history of a particular river, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) of Burma, the heartland and superhighway of Burman culture. Scott opens our understanding of rivers to encompass their entirety—tributaries, wetlands, floodplains, backwaters, eddies, periodic marshlands, and the assemblage of life forms dependent on rivers for their existence and well-being. For anyone interested in the Anthropocene and the Great Acceleration, rivers offer a striking example of the consequences of human intervention in trying to control and domesticate a natural process, the complexity and variability of which we barely understand.

Thanks to scientists who study its rocks, fossils, and landscapes, we know that Earth history spans over four and a half billion years. But there is still much more to discover. This ''Little History'' recounts our planet’s fascinating past and the science which has shaped how we think about it. Taking us from the formation of the Solar System, the evolution of our atmosphere and oceans, and the first signs of life, through to dinosaurs, mammals, and the eventual arrival of humans, Woodward shows us the full span of Earth history, from deep time to the Anthropocene. Along the way, we learn about the major breakthroughs of the pioneering scientists who have unearthed our planet’s secrets. From fossils of ancient creatures to the very air we breathe, this is the essential guide to our world.

Macfarlane takes the reader on a mind-expanding global journey into the history, futures, people and places of the ancient, urgent concept. Around the world, rivers are dying from pollution, drought and damming. But a powerful movement is also underway to recognize the lives and the rights of rivers, and to re-animate our relationships with these vast, mysterious presences whose landscapes we share. The young "rights of nature" movement has lit up activists, artists, law-makers and politicians across six continents—and become the focus for revolutionary thinking about rivers in particular.
