This history recognizes that the Civil War was not just a military conflict but also a moment of profound transformation in Americans' relationship to the natural world. To be sure, environmental factors such as topography and weather powerfully shaped the outcomes of battles and campaigns, and the war could not have been fought without the horses, cattle, and other animals that were essential to both armies. But here Judkin Browning and Timothy Silver weave a far richer story, combining military and environmental history to forge a comprehensive new narrative of the war's significance and impact.

L'adhocisme a toujours existé (pensez à Robinson Crusoë fabriquant un radeau puis un abri à partir de l'épave de son navire). En tant que principe de conception, l'adhocisme se manifeste d'abord dans l'improvisation quotidienne : une bouteille transformée en bougeoir, un dictionnaire en butoir de porte, un siège de tracteur sur roues en chaise de salle à manger. Mais c'est aussi une force qui n'est pas exploitée à sa juste mesure dans la façon dont on aborde presque toutes les activités, du jeu à l'architecture, de l'urbanisme à la révolution politique.Attrayant, le propos développé dans ce livre est accompagné d'illustrations et d'exemples provenant de domaines aussi divers que la mécanique automobile et la biologie. L'adhocisme nous pousse à prêter moins d'attention aux règles et plus aux principes concrets sur lesquels nous nous basons pour faire les choses. Cet ouvrage atteste que la résolution des problèmes ne doit pas nécessairement se manifester par un " eurêka ! " de génie, mais nécessite des essais et des erreurs, des ajustements et rajustements.

This absorbing book explores the crown jewel of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s collection of rare books and manuscripts: Jean Bourdichon’s Boston Hours. As court artist to King François I of France, Bourdichon produced paintings, books and even parade floats for the sovereign and his entourage. This publication accompanies the museum’s first ever exhibition dedicated to this spectacular illuminated manuscript. Painter to two kings, Jean Bourdichon remains today one of the most celebrated artists of the French Renaissance. By age twenty-four, he was already serving as “peintre du roy,” a title which Bourdichon held for the rest of his life. His illustrious career at the French royal court led to a wide range of commissions—from portraits to wall maps to stained glass—but he is remembered principally for astonishing illuminated manuscripts. The peerless Grandes Heures for Queen Anne of Brittany remains the touchstone of this group which includes some of the most lavishly painted books of hours ever produced. One of these masterpieces—Bourdichon’s Boston Hours—in the collection of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is the subject of this book. Bourdichon’s only intact book of hours in the United States was acquired by Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1890 and became the crown jewel of her collection of rare books and manuscripts. Leading scholars Nicholas Herman and Anne-Marie Eze explore its history in depth, shedding new light on the book’s patronage and provenance—from the shelves of a wealthy Catholic landowner in Lincolnshire to the shop of a Venetian art and antiques dealer. This book is the latest in the Gardner’s Close Up series, each installment focusing on an individual, outstanding work of art in the collection. This publication is the first dedicated to this rare treasure, and precedes an exhibition opening in summer 2022.
