A journey through dreamlike landscapes, bizarre buildings, and whimsical interiors floating between reality and fantasy. Oscar Wilde claimed that “progress is the realization of utopia.” Dreamscapes illustrates utopian visions and invites the reader into otherworldly scenes that manifest visions of idealised worlds, offering a path toward a better future. The showcased pieces blur the lines between practical applications for architecture and design, abstract artistic expressions, and expand the possibilities of architecture, interior, and set design. The book presents the work of leading creatives from across the globe, exploring the infinite ways to visualize landscapes and the built environment. With their roots in spatial design, their ideas present a new creative current defined by the fusion of digital techniques such as computer rendering and 3D art, and an aesthetic that moves between fantasy and reality. WHAT TO EXPECT • The first illustrated book to present the work of the artists and creatives at the forefront of this aesthetic, which gained momentum as a social media phenomenon. • An insightful and pioneering look at the world of digital art, which will undoubtedly define the future of creativity. • An inspiring compilation that will serve as a reference for both artists and professionals in the fields of architecture and design.

Humain, trop humain, écrit Nietzsche. Cette formule pourrait être appliquée à ce qu'est devenu Jésus-Christ aujourd'hui : autant que sa divinité, son humanité dérange. Pour certains, elle est un scandale. Dans une langue éminemment proche et accessible, Robert Cheaib se fait le passeur des grands auteurs qui nous introduisent à la profondeur et à la beauté de la foi en Jésus-Christ, vrai Dieu et vrai homme.Il montre ainsi comment la nouvelle radicale de l'Incarnation se réfléchit dans la vie de l'Eglise, épouse incarnée de Dieu. A partir de la soif d'absolu qui habite le coeur de l'homme, cet ouvrage remonte à la source : le désir de Dieu de rencontrer et de sauver chaque personne. Il est une invitation à contempler avec des yeux simples le mystère de l'humanité de Dieu et à se laisser constamment surprendre par elle : c'est en entrant dans la ressemblance du Christ que nous sommes divinisés.

Comment avons-nous pu si longtemps croire que le XVIIIe siècle avait ignoré la pensée de la mort ? Comment peut-on répéter depuis deux cents ans que nos « Philosophes » ont éludé le scandale de la mort ? Les questions dont est sorti ce livre mènent loin, et jusqu’à nous-mêmes. Découvrir le siècle des lumières aux prises avec ses observations et ses fascinations, c’est mieux estimer sa grandeur ; c’est aussi mieux comprendre l’aventure révolutionnaire et les expériences du XIXe siècle. Et c’est reconnaître nos propres hantises, nos espoirs inquiets.

In A Jewish Jesuit in the Eastern Mediterranean, Robert Clines retraces the conversion and missionary career of Giovanni Battista Eliano, the only Jewish-born member of the Society of Jesus. He highlights the lived experience of conversion, and how converts dealt with others' skepticism of their motives. Clines uses primary sources, including Eliano's personal letters, missionary reports, and autobiography, together with scholarship on conversion in the early modern Mediterranean world to illustrate how false and sincere conversion often mirrored each other in outward performance. Devout converts were not readily taken at face value and needed to prove themselves in the moment and over the course of their lifetimes. Consequently, Eliano's story underscores that the mystical, introspective nature of religious belief and the formulation of new spiritual selves came into direct confrontation with the ways in which converts needed to present themselves to others in an age of political and religious turmoil.

"The Earliest Europeans explores the early origins of man in Europe through the perspective of 'a year in the life': how hominins in the Lower Palaeolithic coped with the year-round practical challenges of mid-latitude Europe with its distinctive temperatures, seasonality patterns, and available resources. Current research has provided increasingly robust archaeological and Quaternary Science records, but there are ongoing uncertainties as to both the earliest Europeans' specific survival strategies and behaviours, and the character of their dispersals into Europe. In short, how sustained and 'successful' were the individual phases of European occupation by Lower Palaeolithic hominins and what sorts of 'human' were they? Using a season-by-season chapter structure to explore, for example, the contrasting demands and opportunities of winter versus summer survival, Hosfield explores how foods and other resources would vary across the four seasons in quantity and quality, and the resulting implications for hominin behaviours. Text boxes provide the background on key issues, and the book draws on a range of supporting evidence including technology (e.g. the nature of Lower Palaeolithic stone tools; the evidence for organic tools), hominin life history (e.g. the length of infant dependency; the nature of 'parenting'; the implications of different mating models; the Social Brain Hypothesis), cognitive studies (e.g. brain scanning research into possible planning capabilities) and potential bias in the archaeological record (e.g. in terms of what is and isn't preserved). By testing the likelihood of different scenarios by comparing short-term, site-based insights with long-term, regional trends, Hosfield is able to put forward ideas on how our earliest European ancestors survived and what their lives were like"--

David Harvey's The Condition of Postmodernity rationalised capitalism's transformation during an extraordinary year: 1989. It gave theoretical expression to a material and cultural reality that was just then getting properly started - globalisation and postmodernity - whilst highlighting the geo-spatial limits to accumulation imposed by our planet. However this landmark publication, author Robert Hassan argues, did not address the arrival of digital technology, the quantum leap represented by the move from an analogue world to a digital economy and the rapid creation of a global networked society. Considering first the contexts of 1989 and Harvey's work, then the idea of humans as analogue beings he argues this arising new human condition of digitality leads to alienation not only from technology but also the environment. This condition he suggests, is not an ideology of time and space but a reality stressing that Harvey's time-space compression takes on new features including those of 'outward' and 'inward' globalisation and the commodification of all spheres of existence. Lastly the author considers culture's role drawing on Rahel Jaeggi's theories to make the case for a post-modern Marxism attuned to the most significant issue of our age. Stimulating and theoretically wide-ranging The Condition of Digitality recognises post-modernity's radical new form as a reality and the urgent need to assert more democratic control over digitality.
