Book Description
Com uma produção virtuosa, especialmente entre as décadas de 1940 a 1970, nomes como Joaquim Tenreiro, Sergio Rodrigues, Lina Bo Bardi, José Zanine Caldas, Oscar Niemeyer e Jorge Zalszupin elevaram o móvel moderno brasileiro à condição de importante expressão de nossa atividade cultural. As composições precisas do fotógrafo Ruy Teixeira acentuam o apuro estético deste conjunto de peças, desvelando sucessivas camadas de interpretação e fruição para os apreciadores, seja pelo lastro histórico de cada peça ou pelo recorte promovido pelas coleções retratadas e seus cenários contemporâneos. Em paralelo, o texto do historiador Jayme Vargas conduz o leitor pela pulsante e incerta história do modernismo brasileiro, sintetizando de forma elucidativa ponto a ponto desta história tão impregnada em nosso imaginário, mas muitas vezes, ainda pouco conhecida.

A History of World Agriculture
Author: Marcel Mazoyer
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1583674918
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
Only once we understand the long history of human efforts to draw sustenance from the land can we grasp the nature of the crisis that faces humankind today, as hundreds of millions of people are faced with famine or flight from the land. From Neolithic times through the earliest civilizations of the ancient Near East, in savannahs, river valleys and the terraces created by the Incas in the Andean mountains, an increasing range of agricultural techniques have developed in response to very different conditions. These developments are recounted in this book, with detailed attention to the ways in which plants, animals, soil, climate, and society have interacted. Mazoyer and Roudart’s A History of World Agriculture is a path-breaking and panoramic work, beginning with the emergence of agriculture after thousands of years in which human societies had depended on hunting and gathering, showing how agricultural techniques developed in the different regions of the world, and how this extraordinary wealth of knowledge, tradition and natural variety is endangered today by global capitialism, as it forces the unequal agrarian heritages of the world to conform to the norms of profit. During the twentieth century, mechanization, motorization and specialization have brought to a halt the pattern of cultural and environmental responses that characterized the global history of agriculture until then. Today a small number of corporations have the capacity to impose the farming methods on the planet that they find most profitable. Mazoyer and Roudart propose an alternative global strategy that can safegaurd the economies of the poor countries, reinvigorate the global economy, and create a livable future for mankind.

José Zanine Caldas
Author:
Publisher: Olhares/R
ISBN: 9788562114922
Category : Architecture
Languages : pt
Pages : 300
Book Description
A handsomely produced survey on Brazilian design polymath José Zanine Caldas One of the most important figures in Brazilian material culture, José Zanine Caldas (1919-2001) left behind a diverse legacy in architecture, design and art. His oeuvre includes maquettes built for architecture, industrial and handcrafted furniture, sculpture, landscaping and floriculture, low-income and elite housing designs, and research on the use and reuse of Brazilian woods. Much of Caldas' aesthetic was based on his dialogue with vernacular craft and its construction practices, which stemmed in part from his lack of a traditional education. This book introduces his work and celebrates the centenary of his birth, tracing his trajectory with a primary focus on the rationale of his design and his worldview. It includes original photography of Zanine's work alongside an extensive survey of personal and institutional collections, much of which is being published here for the first time.
