The acclaimed editor of The New York Times Book Review takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the pre-Internet age, offering powerful insights into both the profound and the seemingly trivial things we've lost.NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE AND THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS • “A deft blend of nostalgia, humor and devastating insights.”—PeopleRemember all those ingrained habits, cherished ideas, beloved objects, and stubborn preferences from the pre-Internet age? They’re gone.To some of those things we can say good riddance. But many we miss terribly. Whatever our emotional response to this departed realm, we are faced with the fact that nearly every aspect of modern life now takes place in filtered, isolated corners of cyberspace—a space that has slowly subsumed our physical habitats, replacing or transforming the office, our local library, a favorite bar, the movie theater, and the coffee shop where people met one another’s gaze from across the room. Even as we’ve gained the ability to gather without leaving our house, many of the fundamentally human experiences that have sustained us have disappeared.In one hundred glimpses of that pre-Internet world, Pamela Paul, editor of The New York Times Book Review, presents a captivating record, enlivened with illustrations, of the world before cyberspace—from voicemails to blind dates to punctuation to civility. There are the small losses: postcards, the blessings of an adolescence largely spared of documentation, the Rolodex, and the genuine surprises at high school reunions. But there are larger repercussions, too: weaker memories, the inability to entertain oneself, and the utter demolition of privacy.100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is at once an evocative swan song for a disappearing era and, perhaps, a guide to reclaiming just a little bit more of the world IRL.

Die Farbe Weiss spielt in der japanischen Kultur im Allgemeinen wie auch im Werk des Designers Kenya Hara eine besondere Rolle. In seinem neuen Buch «100 Whites», der Fortsetzung seines vorangegangenen Bandes «Weiss», beschreibt Hara einhundert charakteristische Beispiele für Weiss, wie etwa Schnee, Reis und Wachs. Er legt dar, wie er mit den verschiedenen Erscheinungen von Weiss experimentiert und was sie für seinen Arbeitsprozess bedeuten und ergründet so das Wesen der Farbe, die für Hara Einfachheit und Subtilität symbolisiert. Auf dieser Grundlage untersucht Hara nicht nur die Bedeutung der Farbe für das Design, sondern auch ihre Bedeutung als Philosophie.

An essential resource for architects, activists, policymakers and anyone passionate about eco-social transformationDrawing on the United Nations' assertion that "the climate crisis is mainly a water crisis," this thought-provoking book compiles over 100 key terms defined by contemporary thinkers in science, philosophy, politics, activism and architecture. These terms―such as Water Rights, Hydrocatharsis, Decommodification of Water and Liquid Modernity―form a vital lexicon to guide transformative action and foster a more symbiotic relationship with water. Structured as a collaborative exploration, the book combines scientific insight, philosophical depth and architectural vision to redefine how we engage with water socially, politically and ecologically. Illustrated with cartographic case studies, the volume offers vivid and hopeful scenarios for reshaping human–water interdependence. Through its diverse contributors and an interdisciplinary approach, 100 Words for Water challenges readers to rethink water management and design as the foundation of a resilient, multispecies future.
