Because of the diseases it spreads, we have learned to distance ourselves from our waste, but the long line of engineering marvels we’ve created to do so - from Roman sewage systems and medieval latrines to the immense, computerized treatment plants we use today - has also done considerable damage to the Earth’s ecology. Now scientists tell us: We’ve been wasting our waste.

The sky has always held significance for humanity, in both cultural and scientific terms. And yet we persistently pollute it with sometimes unnecessary light in our obsessive desire to chase away the darkness. This effectively switches off the stars, hampering our ability to enjoy one of the most inspiring sights nature has to offer to humankind. In addition, too much light is hazardous to both our health and that of the fauna and flora of this planet.

La nostra economia è costruita secondo un modello "lineare": preleviamo risorse naturali dall'ambiente e le restituiamo sotto forma di residui che procurano danni all'ecosistema. È un destino inevitabile, un prezzo necessario da pagare al progresso? Lo abbiamo creduto a lungo, ma ora la natura ci presenta il conto.

"Obéissance et irresponsabilité, voilà les deux Mots Magiques qui ouvriront demain le Paradis de la Civilisation des Machines. La civilisation française, héritière de la civilisation hellénique, a travaillé pendant des siècles pour former des hommes libres, c'est-à-dire pleinement responsables de leurs actes : la France refuse d'entrer dans le Paradis des Robots."

Design has become the key link between users and today’s complex and rapidly evolving digital experiences, and designers are starting to be included in strategic conversations about the products and services that enterprises ultimately deliver.

Amelia Earhart’s autobiographical book The Fun of It: Random Records of My Own Flying and of Women in Aviation covers Earhart’s life through May 20-21, 1932, “when Miss Earhart, alone in a Lockheed Vega monoplane with a single Wasp engine, negotiated 2,026 miles through storm and fog from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, to a cow pasture on the outskirts of Londonderry, Ireland. The flight set a transatlantic record of 14 hours, 56 minutes...and stirred such public adulation that she confided, ‘I’ll be glad when the zoo part is over.’” (ANB)

A few minutes before midnight on April 14, 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage to New York, struck an iceberg. Less than three hours later she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

It took place on the decks of two other ships, one 58 miles distant from the sinking Titanic, the other barely 10 miles away.

Il volo ha sempre affascinato l'essere umano e la possibilità di potersi librare nel cielo ha alimentato la fantasia di poeti, scrittori, mercanti, inventori e scienziati dall'alba della civiltà. Quando il 17 dicembre 1903 i fratelli Wright riuscirono a mantenere in volo per 12 secondi l'aeromobile da loro progettato, molti aspetti della vita dell'uomo vennero rivoluzionati per sempre. Il sogno dei condottieri di ogni tempo di materializzarsi con i propri eserciti sull'avversario si stava improvvisamente realizzando: stavano nascendo le operazioni militari nella terza dimensione.

Mélissa de La Fontaine a amorcé un virage zéro déchet après avoir découvert ce mode de vie grâce à l’expérience de l’initiatrice du mouvement, la Franco-Américaine Béa Johnson.

Son livre, Tendre vers le zéro déchet, est le fruit de cette démarche entreprise en 2013. Il retrace son parcours vers un mode de vie plus respectueux de l’environnement, enraciné dans un contexte québécois.

Carl Jung var en av de första och mest lästa författare av det tjugonde århundradet om psykologi i det mänskliga sinnet. Han arbetade med Sigmund Freud, som han delade en fascination med det omedvetna, men irreconciliable skillnader i sin praktik ledde dem till slut att gå skilda vägar. Jung ansåg det omedvetna och symboliska innehåll som avgörande för vår psykologiska utveckling; mellan de centrala begreppen analytisk psykologi individuation, den livslånga psykologisk process av differentiering av själv.
