What does a sanctuary for Hawaiian crows have in common with a troop of robots programmed to perform the Mori haka or recreations of World Heritage Sites built in Minecraft A family heirloom An endangered species An ancient piece of pottery A threatened language These things differ in myriad ways but they are tied together by a common thread they are all examples of things that call out to be saved The world is brimming with things worth saving and we have limited time and resources How do we decide what to save Why do we make these choices Philosopher Erich Hatala Matthes explores these questions as they surface in radically diverse contexts from museums to TikTok and from National Parks to the corner of your attic Matthes illustrates the deep relationship between the things we might save and our sense of self If our cares and concerns are a fundamental part of our identity then what we care for and preserve will play a significant role in shaping and maintaining our understanding of who we are In a world in which everything that we care about is subject to powerful forces of change from climate disturbance and armed conflict to social transformation and the wear and tear of time the terms on which we confront change will be key to whether and ho

Cet ouvrage s'organise en trois grands chapitres qui couvrent les principaux domaines d'application du verre. Il ouvre sur les arts du verre, une histoire qui débute plus de quatre mille ans avant notre ere. Apres une synthese sur l'evolution technique et esthetique du materiau depuis ses origines jusqu'aux premices de l'industrialisation des procedes de fabrication, il traite, entre autres, de l'art du vitrail, du cristal, de la fabrication des miroirs, mais aussi de la place du verre dans l'art moderne et contemporain (Art nouveau, Art deco, StudioGlass...) en reponse, parfois, a l'omnipresence du verre d'origine industrielle qui nous entoure dorenavant au quotidien. Le volet central est consacre a l'usage du verre dans l'architecture. En regard de notre histoire, celle-ci ne s'est liberee que recemment des dimensions reduites que l'on obtenait jusqu'au XIXe siecle pour les verres plats. Ce chapitre aborde l'architecture de verre au travers d'un prisme historique et technique, mais aussi esthetique et philosophique : construire en verre releve en effet d'une quete de la transparence et de la translucidite, des notions tant physiques que conceptuelles renvoyant, pour ces dernieres, a des ideologies sensiblement differentes. Introduit par une synthese historique sur les revolutions industrielles que connut la fabrication du verre, le chapitre final est dedie aux sciences de l'ingenieur et a l'economie du materiau. Il aborde le role et la place du verre dans l'instrumentation scientifique, l'optique et d'autres domaines d'applications souvent moins connus du grand public. Il met enfin en perspective les impacts environnementaux lies a ce secteur industriel : les principales problematiques qui concernent sa production, mais aussi la gamme de solutions qu'il apporte afin de rendre nos modes de consommation et de construction plus durables. Riche d'une abondante illustration, cette somme mele des articles de fond, rediges par des historiens et des experts, a des entretiens avec des artistes et artisans verriers, des architectes et des designers. Cet ouvrage fait suite a la cinquieme Academie des savoir-faire organisee par la Fondation d'entreprise Hermes : "Le Verre".
