Qui n’a jamais rêvé d’explorer l’histoire de France auprès de celles et ceux qui l’ont vécue ? De l’arpenter « au ras du sol » ? Nous l’observons plus souvent du sommet, à hauteur des souverains, des « héros » et autres « grands personnages ». Nous la scrutons aussi de loin : c’est l’histoire des masses, soldats, femmes, ouvriers, etc. Microcosmes privilégie l’immersion : explorer l’histoire de France du dedans, pour la rendre plus familière. Aux côtés de douze figures, anonymes ou méconnues, qui, tapies dans l’ombre du passé, lui donnent chair comme jamais ! Douze microcosmes, douze époques, douze mondes incarnés, comme autant d’allers-retours entre la « grande » et la « petite » histoire qui complètent et interrogent, loupe en main, notre vision du passé. Entre chaque époque, treize entractes présentent le travail des historiens, leurs méthodes, leurs débats, leurs incertitudes... Car connaître l’histoire, c’est aussi savoir comment elle s’écrit.

An exhaustive compendium of marble, 'Afbeelding der Marmor Soorten (A Representation of Marble Types)' depicted 570 samples across 100 colour plates, accompanied by texts in five languages. Published in 1776 at the peak of the Enlightenment, it is regarded, rightly, as one of the finest illustrated scientific books of the era. Over the course of the 18th century, beautiful books that categorised, annotated, and illuminated the Enlightenment pursuit of learning across Europe had become increasingly popular. Knowledge was everything and everywhere, and these books provided it for those not wealthy enough to build their own personal collections of rare and exotic objects. Marmor Soorten, one such edition, took the standards of both aesthetics and categorisation to a whole new level. Jan Christiaan Sepp and his father Christian--himself a respected collector--had already earned a reputation for luxury publications on scientific themes, starting with Christian's own 'Nederlandsche Insecten (Insects of the Netherlands)'. But it was his son who created the visual masterpiece Marmor Soorten, revising an existing German publication from 1775 by Adam Ludwig Wirsing. The result--published in 11 instalments to a print run of around 100--was among the finest examples of its kind. Featuring new photography to depict the intricate details of the marble samples, this edition brings an unknown treasure back to relevance. The plates, each meticulously hand-coloured and arranged with painstaking precision, have an abstract-art feel that gives this volume an almost modern slant. This edition reproduces the pages from two copies of Marmor Soorten held at the State and University Library in Dresden and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Reprinting the work in full for the first time, The Book of Marble brings that rare blend of beauty and encyclopedic knowledge to a wider audience.

Founded in 1978, Ballenberg is a legendary Swiss open-air architectural museum that gathers more than 100 residential and agricultural buildings from the 14th to the 19th centuries, from almost all of the cantons of Switzerland, which have been transported to the museum from their original sites. Together these buildings show how architecture, furnishings and tools expressed the needs of everyday life in their design and execution. Traditional handicrafts such as basket-weaving, forging, braiding, spinning, weaving and carving are also kept alive in Ballenberg's on-site workshops.Edited by Rolf Fehlbaum, entrepreneur and long-time driving force behind Vitra, this beautiful publication is an invitation to discover and explore the world of things with fresh eyes. A Way of Life compiles photographs, observations and discoveries made at Ballenberg by the acclaimed designers Jasper Morrison and David Saik and the architect Tsuyoshi Tane, who all share a fascination with the simple, the practical and the functionally beautiful. In concise, elegant writing, Morrison, Saik and Tane comment on the design ingenuities in various features of the buildings. The book’s superb photography celebrates the traces of wear and tear on door handles, benches, columns, brick tile floors and other architectural details that testify to a bygone ethos of enduring utility and economic common sense. A Way of Life serves as an encouragement to designers and consumers alike to resist trends and fads, and to critically evaluate the objects of everyday use in terms of utility and aesthetics.
