Hidden in a remote place surrounded by high mountains, there lies a secret valley. There is an entrance, but you could pass by it a hundred times and still not see it... It's autumn in the hidden valley and there's a sense of change in the air. Ticky is about to fly away to warmer places, and Yula is painting him a farewell gift. But when Yula draws, she loses all sense of the world around her... Welcome to Carles Porta's beautifully imagined world, where tiny onion-headed ballerinas dance among multicoloured autumn leaves, and new friends are found in the strangest ways.

Hello, Robot.: Design between Human and Machine investigates how robotics is becoming part of our everyday lives, demonstrating that design in its traditional function as a mediator is indispensable if robots are to become a visible reality and not just remain hidden in washing machines, cars and cash machines. The volume clarifies where we already encounter these intelligent machines and where we may come across them in the near future: in industry, in the military and in everyday settings; at nurseries and retirement homes; in our bodies and in the cloud; when shopping and having sex; in video games and, of course, in film and literature. In a series of in-depth essays and interviews, experts such as the science-fiction author Bruce Sterling, novelist Douglas Coupland, architect Philip Beesley, and the design duo Dunne & Raby explore the question of how we deal with our environment becoming increasingly digital, smarter and more autonomous. They highlight our often ambivalent relationship to new technologies and discuss the opportunities and challenges that are posed to us as individuals and as a society in this context. Hello, Robot. broadens the scope of the discussion to the ethical and political questions with which we are faced today in the light of technological advances in robotics, while confronting us with the contradictions that are often found in the answers to these questions.

Les auteurs s'attachent à décrire la diversité des pratiques mises en oeuvre dans les classes en abordant toutes les composantes de l'enseignement de la langue écrite. Pour dépasser les oppositions simplistes de méthodes, ils comparent et expliquent les choix contrastés que les maîtres opèrent dans le respect des programmes nationaux. Sans jargon, ils rendent compte de la complexité d'un apprentissage qui s'avère délicat pour une partie des élèves quand l'école ne joue pas pleinement son rôle. Soucieux de sortir des polèmiques qui ont crée une grande confusion et accru l'inquiétude de tous, ils redonnent confiance dans le travail des enseignants en le rendant plus transparent. En fin d'ouvrage, ils donnent des conseils concrets aux parents soucieux d'accompagner leur enfant dans cet apprentissage.

Through models, material studies, prototypes and production examples of the Eames estate held at the Vitra Design Museum, this publication aims to reconstruct the genesis of the most relevant furniture designs by Charles and Ray Eames and shed light on their influence on the development of new and innovative materials. New insights into the thought processes and work practices of this legendary couple are revealed, designers whose work was driven by philosophical ideals that privileged knowledge, discovery and discipline, and embraced the potential of technology and science for the common good. Among the most important American designers, Charles Eames (1907–78) and Ray Eames (1912–88) are celebrated for their groundbreaking work in furniture, architecture, exhibitions, graphic design, toys and film. Charles and Ray married in 1941 and moved to California where they pursued their furniture design work with molding plywood. During World War II they were commissioned by the US Navy to produce molded plywood splints, stretchers and experimental glider shells. Their molded plywood chair was called “the chair of the century” by the famous architecture critic Esther McCoy.

L'énergie est devenue une question vitale pour les sociétés, le citoyen, l'humanité tout entière. Sujet scientifique, économique, politique et écologique majeur, elle suscite des débats, parfois violents, sur les choix à faire aujourd'hui et leurs conséquences pour l'avenir des hommes et de la planète. Mais, alors que commence le grand débat national sur la transition énergétique, comment se forger une opinion objective sans avoir les données scientifiques les plus complètes sur les potentiels et les limites de chaque source d'énergie? Ce livre les met enfin à la disposition du public. L'énergie, qu'est-ce que c'est? Quelles sont les grandes lois physiques qui la gouvernent? Comment la produire, la transporter, la stocker? Le solaire, la biomasse, l'éolien, l'hydraulique sont-ils des solutions alternatives suffisantes? Et quelle part leur réserver à l'avenir? Les nombreux articles de ce livre (plus d'une centaine) proposent au citoyen des outils pour se faire une opinion face à ces questions. Physiciens, chimistes, biologistes, géophysiciens, environnementalistes, géographes, économistes, y précisent, chiffres et schémas à l'appui, la place respective des énergies fossiles, du nucléaire et des énergies renouvelables. Au-delà, ils expliquent quelles sont les perspectives offertes par la science sur le mix énergétique, le problème du stockage, l'amélioration de nos usages de l'énergie, ses impacts environnementaux et sanitaires. Ces spécialistes, au coeur des recherches en cours sur l'énergie, démontrent qu'il s'agit là d'une science très vivante qui mobilise de nombreuses disciplines scientifiques, afin qu'entre questions et promesses, des solutions émergent.
