La Nouvelle Alliance (1979), du physicien Ilya Prigogine et de la philosophe Isabelle Stengers, est à la fois un livre d'histoire et de philosophie de la thermodynamique et un essai philosophique sur la place de l'homme dans la nature. Il a suscité de vives controverses interdisciplinaires.

1867. Une scierie tourne à plein régime dans un bruit effroyable quand soudain, des ouvriers courent secourir un homme à terre. Il s’est blessé gravement aux yeux. John Muir a déjà vingt-neuf ans et il est confiné dans une chambre obscure : il est probable qu’il reste aveugle. Mais miraculeusement, après des mois d’une convalescence quasi mystique, il recouvre la vue. C’est décidé, il va tout quitter et embrasser son rêve de toujours : partir plein Sud à la rencontre de la vie sauvage. Armé de son seul courage, de sa jeunesse, d’une loupe et d’une presse botanique, il parcourra ainsi des centaines de kilomètres, à pied, de l’Indiana à la Floride. Imaginez une nature sauvage presque inviolée, où seuls rôdent quelques dangereux soldats du Sud en déshérence et d’anciens esclaves jetés hors des anciennes plantations…

How to develop an ethical design practice and build a better world. The choices made by designers have a significant effect on the world. Yet so much of the discourse on design focuses on aesthetics rather than ethics. In The New Designer, acclaimed author Manuel Lima aims to change this by challenging common myths and preconceptions about what comprises good design. He argues that designers must take responsibility for the personal, societal, cultural, and environmental impact of their work, rather than simply following a standard template. As he covers fields ranging from graphic design to industrial design to user-experience design, Lima identifies the major steps that designers must take to be a force for good in the world. Rather than sticking to outmoded ideas about perfectionism and individual genius, designers must work together to tackle some of the most challenging questions of the twenty-first century. How do you make room for humanity, with all its wondrous variations, in a society increasingly driven by metrics, algorithms, and profit? How can ecologically responsible designers consider a product's entire life cycle and look well into the future? And how can designers better respond to a community's local needs while taking advantage of global networks? Blending approaches derived from ethics, psychology, economics, and ecology, The New Designer is a vital, field-changing treatise that will appeal to any reader who seeks to understand design's massive influence on the contemporary world.

"Covering almost 8 percent of the earth's terrain, lichens are living beings which are familiar to everyone, known to no one. They are one of those organisms that seem to offer nothing to hold our gaze. But the more time we spend with lichens, the more they reveal their beauty, their mysteries and their strange power of attraction. Part-algae and part-fungus, lichens call into question our customary ways of classifying forms of life, and allow us to conceive of an ecology that is no longer based on distinctions between nature and culture, urban and rural, competition and cooperation. The result of several years of investigation carried out on several different continents, this remarkable book offers an original, radical, and, like its subject matter, symbiotic reflection on this common but mostly invisible form of life, blending cultures and disciplines, drawing on biology, ecology, philosophy, literature, poetry, even graphic art. What if lichens were at the heart of some of the most pressing and topical questions of our day? Does the fact that they can live everywhere, even in very harsh environments, that they persist when almost all other traces of life have disappeared, mean that, despite their fragility, lichens are a force of resistance? After reading this book you will never see lichens, or the world, in the same way again." -- Amazon.
