Book Description
Quelle place est laissée à l'esthétique dans l'aménagement des villes ? Comment les experts du paysage et de l'aménagement urbain prennent-ils en compte les besoins et les goûts des habitants dans l'environnement quotidien ? Peut-on échapper à une vision purement élitiste du concept de beau ? En réponse à ces questions, l'auteur prône l'engagement esthétique.S'appuyant sur des penseurs classiques, mais aussi sur les réflexions d'artistes contemporains, elle interroge les relations de divers éléments vivants du quotidien urbain (animaux, plantes et jardins, mais aussi l'air) et les jugements préétablis portés sur le ressenti des odeurs, des lumières, des formes et des couleurs. Ainsi cet essai donne-t-il des éléments à l'habitant pour s'approprier sa place d'être vivant multisensoriel en ville dans l'optique d'une démocratie de proximité.Cet ouvrage intéressera tout particulièrement les chercheurs en sciences sociales, les enseignants et étudiants du supérieur, les urbanistes et les architectes, les paysagistes et les artistes, les décideurs, mais aussi le grand public.

Book Description
This book explores ‘environmental forms’ in terms of their relationships to the socio-politico-ecological transformations currently in progress. Today, the environment is a central theme in political discourse, scientific work and everyday life. It is multi-dimensional: it is a living space, a socio-ecological system and a field of research and action. However, despite the presence and diversity of existing approaches, the ways in which policies address environmental issues remain mainly focused on control, highlighting the techno-ecological, managerial and curative dimensions of public actions. Although public action tends to instrumentalise the environment, the humanities and social sciences have initiated significant reflections in this field, proposing alternative ways of thinking about the environment in its multiple aspects and scales. As part of ‘another approach’ to the environment that mirrors contemporary developments, this book adopts a form-based approach which has been largely neglected by previous studies dealing with environmental themes. The analyses provided here will open up a new perspective on the relationships between people, aesthetics and environments, and are drawn from different schools of research, highlighting the huge potential of reading the environment through forms or, conversely, a reading of environmental forms.

Book Description
The publication aims to make suggestions for a 'decolonisation of aesthetics' within an Afro-European framework. The texts (whose authors come from different cultural contexts between Germany, France, Senegal, Benin, Nigeria and Tunesia) do not only refer to heterogenous aesthetic practices understood as subversive and decolonial strategies, but also discuss philosophical questions of a renewed (non-in)dividual humanism. The artistic practices analyzed include artistic installations and ensembles as well as actions in urban and rural space, deceptive manœuvres at the borders and their photographic documentation, and many more.

Book Description
The Aesthetics of Natural Environments is a collection of essays investigating philosophical and aesthetics issues that arise in our appreciation of natural environments. The introduction gives an historical and conceptual overview of the rapidly developing field of study known as environmental aesthetics. The essays consist of classic pieces as well as new contributions by some of the most prominent individuals now working in the field and range from theoretical to applied approaches. The topics covered include the nature and value of natural beauty, the relationship between art appreciation and nature appreciation, the role of knowledge in the aesthetic appreciation of nature, the importance of environmental participation to the appreciation of environments, and the connections between the aesthetic appreciation of nature and our ethical obligations concerning its maintenance and preservation. This volume is for scholars and students focussed on nature, landscapes, and environments, individuals in areas such as aesthetics, environmental ethics, geography, environmental studies, landscape architecture, landscape ecology, and the planning and design disciplines. It is also for any reader interested in and concerned about the aesthetic quality of the world in which we live.

Book Description
Previously published in French by Éditions Quae, this volume presents findings of a major research programme into landscape and sustainable development. While led by French scholars, the research team and geographical scope of the project was international, collaborative and comparative. Using case studies from across Europe, the interdisciplinary team of contributors discuss the relationship between landscape as defined by the European Landscape Convention and the concept of sustainable development. This English edition has a new introduction written by Yves Luginbühl and Peter Howard. The book is then divided into three sections: Biophysical Realities and Landscape Practice; Landscape Resources-Inheritance and Renewal; Governance and Participation. Some of the topics covered, such as wind-farm landscapes, will be familiar to English language readers, but others, such as footpath economics, non-woodland trees, inter-generational equity, and the insistence on the necessary developments in governance less so.

Book Description
This book analyses the dynamic relationship between art and subjective consciousness, following a phenomenological, pragmatist and enactive approach. It brings out a new approach to the role of the body in art, not as a speculative object or symbolic material but as the living source of the imaginary. It contains theoretical contributions and case studies taken from various artistic practices (visual art, theatre, literature and music), Western and Eastern, the latter concerning China, India and Japan. These contributions allow us to nourish the debate on embodied cognition and aesthetics, using theory–philosophy, art history, neuroscience–and the authors’ personal experience as artists or spectators. According to the Husserlian method of “reduction” and pragmatist introspection, they postulate that listening to bodily sensations–cramps, heartbeats, impulsive movements, eye orientation–can unravel the thread of subconscious experience, both active and affective, that emerge in the encounter between a subject and an artwork, an encounter which, following John Dewey, we deem to be a case study for life in general. Ce livre analyse la relation dynamique entre l’art et la conscience subjective, selon une approche phénoménologique, pragmatiste et enactive. Il vise à faire émerger une nouvelle approche du rôle du corps dans l’art, non pas comme objet spéculatif ou matériau symbolique, mais comme source vivante de l’imaginaire. Les contributions théoriques et les études de cas sont prises à diverses pratiques artistiques (arts visuels, théâtre, littérature et musique), occidentales et orientales, ces dernières concernant la Chine, l’Inde et le Japon. Selon la méthode husserlienne de « réduction », en écho à l’introspection pragmatiste, les textes témoignent que l’écoute des sensations corporelles – crampes, battements de cœur, mouvements pulsionnels, orientation des yeux – mises en jeu par l’œuvre, permet de dénouer le fil de l’expérience inconsciente, à la fois kinesthésique et affective, qui émerge dans la rencontre entre un sujet et une œuvre d’art, une rencontre comprise, à la manière de Dewey, comme un cas d’école de la vie en général.

Book Description
Would it not be interesting to know if your partner was as sexually energetic as you? Would it not be great if you can tell which day love making would be more enjoyable for you?

"THE KAMA SUTRA" of the ancient Aryans, "THE PERFUME GARD etc. WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT is that this book not only incorporates the science of those great epics, it also uses the Vedic Code of Science where a person's individual karma is matched against the partner's karma so that the negative effects can be eliminated and the positive effects of the couple can be maxmimized and pleasure can be enjoyed equally in sexual , mental, physical , conversational and vocational stimulation and so on. When there is a lack of sex, severe spiritual and physical illness are generated as a result of building up of sexual energy. Each of us need to understand that the underlying force behind Human Existence is the need for LOVE, SEX and PHYSICAL TOUCH. Lacking of this basic energy creates imbalance in our human body thus producing bad anomalies in our life. Remember LOVE is equal to GOD . Lack of sex in our life create quarrels, disagreements, separation, increased lonliness, lack of good food, back pains, prostate problems, skin problems from unhealthy eating, etc...
