Summary:
Notre monde change, mais pas dans la bonne direction. Le fossé ne cesse de s'élargir entre riches et pauvres, entre puissants et précaires. Le climat et la nature se dérèglent chaque année davantage sous l'avalanche des pollutions.

Notre monde change, mais pas dans la bonne direction. Le fossé ne cesse de s'élargir entre riches et pauvres, entre puissants et précaires. Le climat et la nature se dérèglent chaque année davantage sous l'avalanche des pollutions. Avec la politique de la peur et les attentats terroristes, les démagogues désignent de faux coupables (les étrangers, les musulmans...) et gagnent même des élections. Mais se lamenter ne sert à rien. Ce dont nous avons besoin, c'est, tout d'abord, d'une vision nouvelle pour un avenir désirable. Un mouvement citoyen et un institut de recherche en design, Attac et Civic city, ont uni leurs forces pour raconter ce vieux monde qui va si mal et dessiner les propositions innovantes qui pourraient nous en sortir. Des propositions déjà portées par des milliers d'initiatives citoyennes dans le monde entier. Alors on y va ?

Summary:
The first complete monograph on the work of Swiss graphic designer Max Huber, one of the most significant designers of the 20th century. Huber's work was consistently innovative, and by combining painting and photography with other graphic media, he remained avant-garde throughout his career, bringing the utopian vision of the modern masters to bear on corporate typography and identity design.

Summary:
Although Samuel Abraham Marx was born at the end of the 19th century, he had the eye of a modernist - as an architect, furniture designer, connoisseur and collector. His vision was neither ostentatious or grandiose, but subtle and quietly magnificent. Ultra-Modern, Samuel Marx, Architect, Furniture Designer, Connoisseur is the first monograph on this lesser-known but increasingly influential American designer. In more than 200 photographs, Marx expert and decorative arts dealer, Liz O Brien, reveals many of his undiscovered projects including houses that have been raised despite preservationist protests and his range of furniture designs. Marx was also sought after for his ability to integrate art in well-heeled interiors. The private art collections of many of his wealthy clients have, in the last 40 years, been dispersed to major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as the Chicago Art Institute, in Chicago.
