Résumé:
The heem parks (parks that predominately feature native wild plants) De Braak, the K. Landwehrpark and, especially, the Jac.P. Thijsse Park in Amstelveen in the Netherlands, have been important sources of inspiration for landscape architects, gardeners, and nature lovers throughout the world since they were first laid out over fifty years ago. This new book looks at the extraordinary history of these parks and the work of the landscape architect Christiaan Broerse and his colleague, the botanist Koos Landwehr. It also details Broerse and Landwehr’s creative and highly original use of a great variety of native plants in these parks. Bekkers analyses the parks as integral elements of Amsterdam’s urban expansion plans and demonstrates how successfully Broerse and Landwehr resolved the tension between the conservation movement and city planners. He shows too how interest in the Amstelveen heem parks have grown over time. These parks have played a key role, for instance, in the increasing emphasis on the use of native plants in the layout of green areas. The book is richly illustrated, with specially commissioned full-colour photographs by Jan Derwig and aerial photographs by Jan Schot. Also included are historical illustrations and sketches.

Résumé:
Des légumes en hiver est un manuel pratique destiné aux jardiniers amateurs comme aux professionnels du maraichage. En vingt chapitres illustrés, Eliot Coleman, cultivateur américain et pionnier de l'agriculture biologique, dévoile les méthodes qu'il développe au coeur de son exploitation de petite surface, selon trois principes primordiaux : diminuer l'impact environnemental, densifier les cultures et réduire le coût financier de son exploitation. Particulièrement connu pour ses techniques de culture hivernales et respectueuses de l'environnement, ce producteur explique comment parvenir à récolter des légumes variés et de qualité, quelle que soit la saison. Il défend l'utilité des serres mobiles et des tunnels, encore inexploités en France, l'une des clés du succès pour les récoltes de primeurs tout au long de l'année. Le lecteur apprend pas à pas à préparer un sol, puis à semer et à récolter à l'aide d'un équipement modeste et peu mécanisé évitant au maximum le recours aux énergies polluantes. Schémas et planning explicatifs jalonnent l'ouvrage afin d'aider chacun à cultiver des légumes, même lorsque les conditions climatiques ne s'y prêtent pas. Les conseils de l'auteur accompagnent les producteurs en herbe à chaque étape de leur apprentissage en leur permettant notamment de faire face aux questions et difficultés qu'ils peuvent rencontrer dans la mise en oeuvre de cultures saines ou encore en abordant la question des outils nécessaires à ce travail de la terre. Des légumes en hiver se présente comme un plaidoyer pour une relocalisation des productions agricoles.

Huit millions de personnes en France ne peuvent pas se nourrir comme elles le souhaiteraient, obligées pour certaines de recourir aux dons, contraintes pour d'autres de se rabattre sur des produits ''low cost''. A l'opposé de cette réalité, une offre alternative à celle de l'industrie agro-alimentaire, de meilleure qualité (bio, locale...), se développe depuis vingt ans, mais n'est accessible qu'aux ménages ayant un certain revenu. Bien manger est devenu un luxe. Cette enquête décrypte les rouages d'un système et explore de nouveaux modèles pour l'alimentation de demain. Lutter contre la précarité alimentaire, c'est agir tout au long de la chaîne, du champ à l'assiette. C'est repenser la place que nous faisons à l'alimentation, dans nos vies et dans notre société.

Résumé:
Digesting Recipes: The Art of Culinary Notation scrutinises the form of the recipe, using it as a means to explore a multitude of subjects in post-war Western art and culture, including industrial mass-production, consumerism, hidden labour, and art engaged with the everyday. Each chapter is presented as a dish in a nine-course meal, drawing on examples from published cookbooks and the work of artists such as Alison Knowles, Yoko Ono, Annette Messager, Martha Rosler, Barbara T. Smith, Bobby Baker and Mika Rottenberg. A recipe is an instruction, the imperative tone of the expert, but this constraint can offer its own kind of potential. A recipe need not be a domestic trap but might instead offer escape – something to fantasise about or aspire to. It can hold a promise of transformation both actual and metaphorical. It can be a proposal for action, or envision a possible future.

Résumé:
As we taste, chew, swallow, digest, and excrete, our foods transform us, while our eating, in its turn, affects the wider earthly environment. In 'Eating in Theory' Annemarie Mol takes inspiration from these transformative entanglements to rethink what it is to be human. Drawing on fieldwork at food conferences, research labs, health care facilities, restaurants, and her own kitchen table, Mol reassesses the work of authors such as Hannah Arendt, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Hans Jonas, and Emmanuel Levinas. They celebrated the allegedly unique capability of humans to rise above their immediate bodily needs. Mol, by contrast, appreciates that as humans we share our fleshy substance with other living beings, whom we cultivate, cut into pieces, transport, prepare, and incorporate—and to whom we leave our excesses. This has far-reaching philosophical consequences. Taking human eating seriously suggests a reappraisal of being as transformative, knowing as entangling, doing as dispersed, and relating as a matter of inescapable dependence.

From films where food is the central theme, such as ‘Julie & Julia’ (2009), ‘Tortilla Soup’, ‘Babette’s Feast’ (1987), and ‘Tampopo’ (1985), to ones in which it plays a supporting role, like ‘The Scent of Green Papaya’ (1993), ‘Eat Drink Man Woman’ (1994), and ‘Goodfellas’ (1990), dozens of classic, cult, and perhaps underappreciated or forgotten films can be experienced again in this gastronomic celebration of cinema.

Résumé:
Coffee, tea, and chocolate were all the rage in Enlightenment Europe. These fashionable beverages profoundly shaped modes of sociability and patterns of consumption, yet none of the plants required for their preparation was native to the continent: coffee was imported from the Levant, tea from Asia, and chocolate from Mesoamerica. Their introduction to 17th-century Europe revolutionized drinking habits and social customs. It also spurred an insatiable demand for specialized vessels such as hot beverage services and tea canisters, coffee cups and chocolate pots. This beautiful book demonstrates how the paraphernalia associated with coffee, tea, and chocolate can eloquently evoke the culture of these new beverages and the material pleasures that surrounded them. Contributors address such topics as the politics of coffee consumption in 18th-century Germany; 18th-century visual satires on the European consumption of tea, coffee, and chocolate; and the design history of coffee pots in the United States between the colonial period and the present.
