Résumé:
Exploring the reality of the dream and the dream of reality over many decades has led IONE to appreciate the quantum nature of dreams. Weaving science and dream traditions from around the world together with her own memories and the dreams of her friends and community members, ''Quantum Dreaming'' shows that as we start practising awareness, our consciousness also deepens. IONE and Pauline Oliveros’s shared vision of a harmonious, self-sustaining network of artists and dreamers led to the founding of the ''Deep Listening Institute''. ''Quantum Dreaming'' similarly seeks a radical shift in our collective consciousness, across all states of dreaming and waking.

Résumé:
This book provides an intellectual history of the modernist "minimum dwelling", exploring how early modernism saw mass housing as a primary vehicle for achieving the utopian transformation of society. It reappraises the often-overlooked 2nd and 3rd CIAM conferences (1929-31), addressing their engagement with the "minimum dwelling" and revealing them both as milestones in the organisation's annals and as seminal moments in the history of interwar modernism. Split into two parts, ''The Minimum Dwelling'' Revisited first takes a genealogical approach to explore the provenance of the concept of "minimum dwelling" prior to the 2nd and 3rd CIAM conferences, it then traces the proceedings of the two conferences themselves. Addressing the origins of the "minimum dwelling" concept but also its legacies, and serving as a corrective to the overemphasis on 4th CIAM conference and the Athens Charter, the book is essential reading for scholars researching urban design during the Interwar period.

Résumé:
Design is a process requiring both rigour and freedom; focus and expansion. Yet how does the concept - the 'intention' - become a built project? This accessible book acts as a storytelling toolkit, taking designers through a tried-and-tested process for taking an architectural project from thought to built project. Based around four main sections - Asking, Looking, Playing and Making - the authors show how a design process can generate beautiful buildings which are rooted in a sense of place. Further examples include a range of project types and scales to demonstrate the versatility of this toolkit.

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.

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.

Résumé:
C'est l'inégalité française à la fois la plus forte et la moins connue : l'inégalité Paris-Province. D'un côté Paris, seule capitale au monde à concentrer toutes les richesses et tous les pouvoirs (politiques, culturels, économiques, médiatiques). De l'autre, la Province, les « territoires » comme on dit dans la capitale, priée d'obéir en silence. Si le parisianisme est un legs de l'histoire de France, ce livre montre comment l'inégalité Paris-Province ne cesse de s'aggraver dans tous les domaines par l'action des élites parisiennes, dans l'ignorance générale. Et il pointe la tentation populiste d'exploiter cette inégalité à des fins réactionnaires. Ceci n'est pas un manifeste contre Paris, mais pour l'émancipation de la Province et des Provinciaux. Un plaidoyer pour une France plus équilibrée, plus harmonieuse, riche de ses différences, heureuse de ses accents.

Résumé:
Ludwig Klages' 1922 book, ''On Cosmogonic Eros'' ( ''Vom kosmogonischen Eros''), delves into the realms of mythology, the esotericism of ancient mystery cults, and the science of consciousness to construct a profound metaphysics of life. At its core, Klages presents Eros as an "Eros of distance," from which springs forth the essence of ecstasy and de-selfing. This intriguing concept suggests that experiencing separation and distance can lead to extraordinary states of transcendent bliss and a dissolution of the self. Furthermore, Klages argues that this ecstatic experience serves as the foundation for the emergence of symbolism, the cult of the dead, ancestor worship, as well as the creation of original poetry and art. Klages' work offers a concise and engaging exploration of these key concepts, intertwining mythology, esoteric knowledge, and the study of consciousness to illuminate the enigmatic nature of life and the transformative power of Eros.
