Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency, was founded in 1942 by William 'Wild Bill' Donovan under the direction of President Roosevelt, who realized the need to improve intelligence during wartime. A rigorous recruitment process enlisted agents from both the armed services and civilians to produce operational groups specializing in different foreign areas including Italy, Norway, Yugoslavia and China. At its peak in 1944, the number of men and women working in the service totaled nearly 13,500. This intriguing story of the origins and development of the American espionage forces covers all of the different departments involved, with a particular emphasis on the courageous teams operating in the field. The volume is illustrated with many photographs, including images from the film director John Ford who led the OSS Photographic Unit and parachuted into Burma in 1943.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage propose une histoire environnementale comparée de la nation. L’auteur démontre qu’au-delà des contextes, l’invention de la nature vise bien souvent à renforcer les contours matériels et idéels de la nation au nom de laquelle agissent les pouvoirs publics. Tandis que dans la France parsemée de lieux de mémoire, le parc des Cévennes sert à la pérennisation d’une nation paysanne, nostalgique et traditionnelle, au Canada, pour pallier un passé manquant de profondeur mais débordant de conflits, le parc Forillon donne à voir et à croire une nation vierge, atemporelle et apolitique. Quant à l’Éthiopie et son parc du Semēn, l’État s’approprie les représentations néomalthusiennes et vaguement racistes des institutions internationales telles que l’Unesco et le WWF afin d’être reconnu sur la scène internationale et de s’imposer, alors, sur un territoire qu’il veut national. Mobilisant les lois, les rapports d’activité et la documentation archivistique et touristique produits par les gestionnaires de ces territoires, de la fin des années 1960 au temps présent, cet ouvrage relate trois histoires de natures et de nations. Mais il livre aussi une seule histoire : celle du parc comme enjeu de luttes. Car de l’Amérique du Nord à l’Afrique jusqu’à l’Europe, en tant qu’espace de vie quotidienne converti en espace de visites temporaires, le parc national légitime toujours l’exercice public d’une violence concrète et symbolique sur les populations locales et environnantes.

Book excerpt: Designers today are striving to transform our relationship with the natural world. While the modern industrial age gave way to designs that vastly improved human enterprise through technology, there were unintended and destructive consequences for the environment. Humans are intrinsically linked to nature yet our actions have frayed this relationship, forcing designers to think more intentionally and to consider the impact of every design decision, from an artifact's manufacture and use to its obsolescence. Designers are aligning with biologists, engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists and many other disciplines to design a more harmonious and regenerative future. Based on these new partnerships, designers are asking different questions and anticipating future challenges, which not only change the design process, but also what design means. 0'Nature: Collaborations in Design' includes over sixty-five international projects from the fields of architecture, product design, landscape design, fashion, interactive and communication design, and material research. More than 300 compelling and exquisite photographs, illustrations and content from data visualizations illustrate seven essays, which explain and explore designers' strategies around understanding, simulating, salvaging, facilitating, augmenting, remediating and nurturing nature. Four conversations between scientists and designers delve into topics related to synthetic biology, scientific versus design lexicon, and recent shifts in the meaning of nature with a glossary illuminating scientific, technological and theoretical concepts and processes invoked by the designers.00Exhibition: Cooper-Hewitt Museum, New York, USA & CUBE Design Museum, Kerkrade, The Netherlands (10.05.2019-20.01.2020).
