*The Story of Tools* explores our relationship with the most fundamental objects - those that allow us to realise our potential as makers, problem solvers and doers. Each chapter is devoted to a specific, unique tole, with their stories told by those who know them best - their owners, each recognised experts in their own fields, who wield their implements every day, or even make their own design and purpose.

The Union Internationale des Sciences Pré- et Protohistoriques (UISPP) commission on "Flint Mining in Pre- and Protohistoric Times" was created at the 12th meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (Cracow, Poland, 19th-24th September 2006). The aim was to perpetuate the tradition of organizing international symposia on flint, established by the Limburg Branch of the Dutch Geological Society in 1969 at Maastricht. The commission intends to maintain cooperation in archaeological research on siliceous rock mining (flint, chert, hornstone, radiolarite, jasper and obsidian), by presenting and discussing methods and results. Major fields of interest include the different stages of chaînes opératoires of manufacture, specialisation of labour and circulation of raw materials, as well as the study of flint mining sites in relation to pre- and protohistoric settlement patterns. The objective of the commission is to promote these lines of research into flint mining and its methods, thus enabling a better understanding of the various phenomena and processes taking place in pre- and protohistoric times. This volume contains the papers of the Paris conference held on 10th-11th September 2012, together with some additional papers presented at Vienna 2010 and Florianópolis 2011. A first set of contributions concerns the main topic of the conference, which was lithothèques and reference collections. A further group of papers concerns the second conference theme: workshops, from excavation to chaînes opératoires reconstruction.

Les dix auteurs réunis dans ce volume, à l'occasion de la sixième rencontre de l’école doctorale d’archéologie, se sont intéressés au thème : « Des vestiges aux sociétés. Regards croisés sur le passage des données archéologiques à la société sous-jacente ». Les contributions présentées ici, couvrent des domaines géographiques, chronologiques et thématiques larges, exprimant en partie la substance complexe et subtile de cette vaste problématique. Les auteurs mettent en regard les pratiques archéologiques et celles des populations en question. Leurs approches se rejoignent sur la valeur du regard critique porté sur les postures de l’archéologue face aux faits empiriques. Les auteurs nous révèlent l’entière nécessité du travail de questionnement des outils méthodologiques pour faire parler justement les vestiges. L’ensemble des contributions montre que l’égal intérêt pour le connu et l’inconnu, le producteur et le destinataire, le corpus étudié et le corpus comparatif, l’intérieur et l’extérieur est le fondement d’une archéologie dynamique plus à même de rendre compte des interactions sociales.

Award-winning author, curator, and activist Lucy R. Lippard is one of America’s most influential writers on contemporary art, a pioneer in the fields of cultural geography, conceptualism, and feminist art. Hailed for “the breadth of her reading and the comprehensiveness with which she considers the things that define place” (The New York Times), Lippard now turns her keen eye to the politics of land use and art in an evolving New West. Working from her own lived experience in a New Mexico village and inspired by gravel pits in the landscape, Lippard weaves a number of fascinating themes—among them fracking, mining, land art, adobe buildings, ruins, Indian land rights, the Old West, tourism, photography, and water—into a tapestry that illuminates the relationship between culture and the land. From threatened Native American sacred sites to the history of uranium mining, she offers a skeptical examination of the “subterranean economy.” Featuring more than two hundred gorgeous color images, Undermining is a must-read for anyone eager to explore a new way of understanding the relationship between art and place in a rapidly shifting society.

When you see or read about excessive corporate profiteering, business malpractices, poor social welfare, and environmental and ecological disasters, do you have an urge to do something? With so many analysis reports, academic journals, news coverage, and documentaries on the subject, why is there so little action? Most management gurus and executives recognize that it is possible to achieve a triple bottom line -- running a business for the benefit of the people, the planet, and profit at the same time. To achieve this, businesses have to solve their internal issues involving the leadership team, the management team, and the technical team. Drawing from leadership and management practices, practical case studies, and using energy, water, raw material, waste and its associated environmental impact as examples, People, Planet, Profit describes the ten internal issues -- five technical, two leadership, and three managerial -- and solutions to these issues.

Seit gut einem Jahrzehnt ist ein wachsendes Interesse an der Geschichte einzelner Stoffe zu verzeichnen: Es gibt Studien zu Kohle, Salz oder Baumwolle, aber auch zu komplexen Stoffprodukten wie Kunststoffen oder Kokain. Das geschichtswissenschaftliche Interesse an Stoffen ist zwar keineswegs neu, aber die Perspektiven haben sich in den letzten Jahren unter dem Eindruck einer neuen Debatte über »Materialität« erheblich gewandelt. Die Beiträger*innen bündeln aktuelle Debatten und arbeiten Umrisse einer Stoffgeschichte heraus. Sie liefern damit erstmals einen Einblick in Methoden und Praktiken des Forschungsfeldes - und geben Perspektiven für die Zukunft.
