Tokyo Architecture & Design
Tokyo constitutes the most populated metropolitan area on the planet&894 it’s houses 33 million inhabitants who get around on the world’s most complex railroad system, as well as enjoying the highest number of restaurants per inhabitant in the world. It is also, possibly, the megalopolis with the highest proportion of recent architecture. Despite the fact that Tokyo’s origins date back to the 17th century _ when it was known as Edo _ and that it went trough a golden age at the end of the 19th century after being declared the capital of Japan, little remains of its original architecture as result of two significant events that almost completely destroyed it: an earthquake in 1923, which triggered plans for a rebuilding programme that proved unfeasible due to the high cost, and the bombardments of World War II, which almost halved the population.In no other city are the boundaries between inside and outside, public and private, up and down as blurred as in Tokyo&894 this lack of frontiers has shaped an urban setting without parallel, which is reflected equally by the most state-of-the-art skyscraper and the most intimate store. This amalgam of architectural typologies has established itself as a reference point for designers from all over the world.
Traffic Design
Since the last century, most of the public space has been designed for and around the automobile. Gradually, a mostly undifferentiated infrastructure developed into landmark architecture, with buildings and constructions of all kinds that interpret and mark the contemporary's ”automobile way of life”. Be it parking garages, gas stations, wash-cafés, bridges or motor hotels: the subject has a surprising lot of designs to offer. Paolo Tumminelli’s ”Traffic design” shows recent interesting projects from the whole world.

Les Contemplations
Qu'est-ce que Les Contemplations? C'est l'existence humaine sortant de l'énigme du berceau et aboutissant l'énigme du cercueil; c'est un esprit qui marche de lueur en lueur en laissant derrire lui la jeunesse, l'amour, l'illusion, le combat, le désespoir, et qui s'arrte éperdu au bord de l'infini " (Préface). Le recueil des Contemplations rassemble des textes écrits par Hugo sur plus de vingt ans, et classés selon une chronologie fictive. De la célbre Réponse un acte d'accusation, o le pote pose en révolutionnaire de la langue, Ce que dit la bouche d'ombre, inspiré de l'expérience du spiritisme, en passant par les pomes sur la mort de Léopoldine, ce sont les mémoires d'une âme qui se dessinent en creux. Parues en 1856 entre Les Châtiments et La Légende des sicles, Les Contemplations marquent le sommet de l'uvre poétique de Victor Hugo."

Jean de Florette
Au village des Bastides Blanches, on hait ceux de Crespin. C'est pourquoi lorsque Jean Cadoret, le Bossu, s'installe la ferme des Romarins, on ne lui parle pas de la source cachée. Ce qui facilite les manuvres des Soubevran, le Papet et son neveu Ugolin. qui veulent lui racheter son domaine bas prix... Jean de Florette (1962), premier volume de L'Eau des collines, marque, trente ans aprs Pirouettes, le retour de Pagnol au roman. C'est l'épopée de l'eau nourricire sans laquelle rien n'est possible. Marcel Pagnol y développe l'histoire du pre de Manon, évoquée sous forme de flash-back dans le filin Manon des sources (1952). Les dialogues sont savoureux, et la prose aussi limpide que dans les Souvenirs d'enfance. Quant au Papet et Ugolin, la fois drôles et terrifiants, ils sont parmi les créations les plus complexes de Pagnol. Tri comprends, s'ils avaient bu l'eau de la citerne, c'est sr qu'ils seraient morts tous les trois, et moi ça m'aurait embté. D'avoir bouché la source, c'est pas criminel : c'est pour les illets. Mais si, cause de ça, il y avait des morts, eh bien peut-tre qu'aprs nous n'en parlerions pas, mais nous y penserions."

Break No Bones
It's the second-to-last day of archaeological field school. Dr. Temperance Brennan's students are working on a site of prehistoric graves on Dewees, a barrier island north of Charleston, South Carolina, when a decomposing body is uncovered in a shallow grave off a lonely beach... The skeleton is articulated, the bone fresh and the vertebrae still connected by soft-tissue; the remains are encased in rotted fabric and topped by wisps of pale, blond hair - a recent burial, and a case Tempe must take. Dental remains and skeletal gender and race indicators suggest that the deceased is a middle-aged white male - but who was he? Why was he buried in a clandestine grave? And what does the unusual vertical hairline fracture of the sixth cervical vertebrae signify? While Tempe is trying to piece together the evidence, her personal life is thrown into turmoil. When a bullet - intended, perhaps, for her - puts Tempe's estranged husband Pete in hospital, her unexpectedly emotional response complicates her on-off relationship with Detective Andrew Ryan... But before long, another body is discovered - and Tempe finds herself drawn deeper into a shocking and chilling investigation, set to challenge her entire view of humanity...
