Résumé:
Logotopia: from the Ancient Greek logos, meaning 'word' and topos, meaning 'place' is a multi-disciplinary exhibition and publications comprised of architecture, art and the written word in almost equal proportions. Logotopia explores the library, or 'word place,' as both a concept and a built form through four distinct categories- the Universal Library, the National Library, the Public Library and the Private Library. Logotopia also provides a glimpse into the future of the library in the information age, as well as the changing image of the libarian in pop culture and as cyber avatar.

Résumé:
In this book, Michael Marder illuminates the vegetal centerpieces and hidden kernels that have powered theoretical discourse for centuries. Choosing twelve botanical specimens that correspond to twelve significant philosophers, he recasts the development of philosophy through the evolution of human and plant relations. A philosophical history for the postmetaphysical age, The Philosopher's Plant reclaims the organic heritage of human thought. With the help of vegetal images, examples, and metaphors, the book clears a path through philosophy's tangled roots and dense undergrowth, opening up the discipline to all readers.

Résumé:
Based around an out-of-print anthology devoted to prehistoric collections unearthed by archaeological expeditions in Algeria, French artist Camille Henrot's latest project treats this ethnographic material as motifs of a contemporary grotesque. The scientific document photographs, diagrams, and captions becomes part of a layered array incorporating traces of our present age: humans, animals, plants, minerals, and other objects. Freely mixing the pre- and post-historic, archaic and actual, Henrot constructs an exploration of human bodies, information media, and meaning using dated pornography, technological refuse, tools and instruments, signs, and more.

Résumé:
For more than a century now, avant-garde artists, activists and technologists have been anticipating the development of networked and electronic publishing. Although in hindsight the reports of the death of paper were greatly exaggerated, electronic publishing has now certainly become a reality. How will the analog and the digital coexist in the post-digital age of publishing? How will they transition, mix and cross over? In this book, Alessandro Ludovico rereads the history of the avant-garde arts as a prehistory of cutting through the so-called dichotomy between paper and electronics.

Résumé:
The idea of public spaces—city parks, waterfront bike paths, and bustling squares—has long been associated with urban environments. Public Spheres After Socialism challenges this idea in light of the end of the cold war and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Drawing together experiences from across Europe, this innovative volume reconsiders the public sphere as a figurative, or mythical, location where members of society shape and determine its values. This book examines monuments, reconstruction, film, and new media to ask whether public spaces are viable in an age of globalized consumerism.

In Jacques Tati's "Trafic", the bumbling Monsieur Hulot, outfitted as always with tan raincoat, beaten brown hat, and umbrella, takes to Paris's highways and byways. For this, his final outing, Hulot is employed as an auto company’s director of design, and accompanies his new vehicle (a camper tricked out with absurd gadgetry) to an auto show in Amsterdam. Naturally, the road is paved with modern-age mishaps. This late-career delight is a masterful demonstration of the comic genius’s expert timing and sidesplitting visual gags, and a bemused last look at technology run amok.

Résumé:
Glamour is an alluring but elusive concept. We most readily associate it with fashion, industrial design, and Hollywood of the Golden Age, and yet it also shaped the language and interests of high modernism. In Glamour in Six Dimensions Judith Brown looks at the historical and aesthetic roots of glamour in the early decades of the twentieth century, arguing that glamour is the defining aesthetic of modernism. In the clean lines of modernism she finds the ideal conditions for glamour-blankness, polish, impenetrability, and the suspicion of emptiness behind it all.

Résumé:
Here, published for the first time, is one of photography's unknown masterworks: a Viennese lawyer and photographer [Dr. Emil Mayer] whose prints were largely destroyed by the Gestapo after his death. This extraordinary collection establishes Mayer as a master of photography, one of the first in a line of street photographers that includes André Kertész and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Mayer's photographs, taken during the last years of the horse and carriage, offer us a rare and intimate vision of a bygone age. The result is a book that is lyrical, moving, and exquisitely beautiful.

Résumé:
In "Forest and garden", Melanie L. Simo ranges through a period of landscape history that has been underexamined, between Olmsted and mid-twentieth-century modernism, when the contours of the debate were formed and the landscape professions came of age. Simo's book spans half a century, from the year that Charles Sprague Sargent's influential "Garden and Forest" magazine ceased publication in 1897 to the appearance in 1949 of two unusual books about land and landscape—Aldo Leopold's "Sand County Almanac" and Jens Jensen's "The Clearing" —that marked the beginning of a new ecological awareness.
