De 1568, année de son mariage à l’âge de 24 ans, jusqu’à son décès en 1626, soit 57 années durant sans la moindre interruption, le maître-charpentier rémois Jehan Pussot tient un journalier, d’abord pour lui-même et son entourage immédiat, puis dans l’espoir avoué d’instruire les générations futures. Son écriture, simple et directe, pudique et parfois ironique, mais jamais dénuée de bon sens, se densifie au fil des ans pour refléter l’élargissement constant des centres d’intérêt de notre artisan. Ainsi à la chronique initiale des événements familiaux et des conjonctures saisonnières, Pussot ajoute très tôt l’observation du cortège sans fin des troubles politico-religieux qui frappent la France et le Pays Rémois au dernier tiers du xvie siècle. À la compassion pour ses contemporains, à l’occasion des tensions ligueuses particulièrement vives dans une cité toute acquise aux Guise, succède le soulagement apporté par la pacification générale de 1598. Dès lors, l’homme de métier et possesseur de vignes goûte les bienfaits de la gestion prospère des affaires, le fervent catholique se fait le témoin vigilant de la marche triomphale du catholicisme réformé, notamment de ses expériences liturgiques et musicales. Le fidèle sujet du royaume se réjouit de la réconciliation survenue entre les premiers Bourbons, la noblesse catholique et sa cité des sacres, redevenue l’ornement visible de la monarchie. Lorsque enfin les dernières années se présentent, emporté par une vague nostalgique de souvenirs personnels, il ouvre une fenêtre mémorielle passionnante sur ses vertes années.

The Restoration Economy reveals the previously undocumented trillion-dollar global industries that are restoring our natural and manmade environments. Restorative development is rapidly overtaking new development because we are running out of things to develop. Most natural areas are already either farmed or degraded, and cities have built all the way to their borders. However, there is no lack of things to redevelop and restore. Storm Cunningham surveys the wide range of restoration industries and points out the connections among them. He shows, for example, how the restoration of a river ecosystem can have a major impact on the commercial success of a redeveloped historic urban waterfront. Written for a broad range of audiences, The Restoration Economy is an entertaining blend of business, science, and economics that details exciting new business and investment opportunities in this dynamic economic sector.

Handbook of Energy Efficiency in Buildings: A Life Cycle Approach offers a comprehensive and in-depth coverage of the subject with a further focus on the Life Cycle. The editors, renowned academics, invited a diverse group of researchers to develop original chapters for the book and managed to well integrate all contributions in a consistent volume. Sections cover the role of the building sector on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, international technical standards, laws and regulations, building energy efficiency and zero energy consumption buildings, the life cycle assessment of buildings, from construction to decommissioning, and other timely topics. The multidisciplinary approach to the subject makes it valuable for researchers and industry based Civil, Construction, and Architectural Engineers. Researchers in related fields as built environment, energy and sustainability at an urban scale will also benefit from the books integrated perspective.
