The foraged home / by Maclennan, Oliver,author.; Maclennan, Joanna,photographer.;

A celebration of both sustainability and design, this book presents beautiful interiors filled with salvaged, recycled, and repurposed objects from around the world. Artful home interiors are born from curiosity, creativity, and imagination, yet many of us fail to see a potential curtain rod in a bamboo stick or a kitchen counter in an old carpenter's bench. Anyone can create a beautiful home without expensive store-bought pieces simply by foraging and salvaging. Discarded objects can be restored, recycled, or repurposed to fill any space with style. Presenting the techniques and philosophies--such as beachcombing, forest hunting, and urban salvaging--of savvy foragers from across the globe, this book showcases how they created comfortable and stylish homes by breathing new life into what most would consider waste. In an era when sustainability, living off the grid, and reducing our eco-footprint have never been more important or appealing, The Foraged Home will provide guidance and inspiration to those looking to go beyond the world of mass-produced products.

A walk around the block : stoplight secrets, mischievous squirrels, manhole mysteries & other stuff you see every day (and know nothing about) / by Carlsen, Spike,1952-author.;

Includes bibliographical references."On his regular walk one morning, Spike Carlsen realized there was an entire world outside his front door that he knew nothing about. How does that fire hydrant work, he wondered? Why are street lights shining more brightly than ever before? And, on a more personal level, why does an easy stroll around the neighborhood always leave him feeling more creative and spry, better able to take on the day? A simple walk around the block set Carlsen off on an investigative journey to discover everything he could about every thing we take for granted in our everyday life, from manhole covers and recycling bins to pedestrian crossings and bike lanes. Leading readers on a spirited adventure through his hometown, and other environs, Carlsen explains with wit and erudition the engineering marvels, unheralded utilities, and secret economic and health benefits hiding in plain sight. Like how the addition of a front porch reduces crime and increases property value. And how planting a $10 boulevard tree cuts air-conditioning costs by 20 percent, while generating approximately $30,000 worth of oxygen and $31,000 worth of erosion control. Or how a simple walk, in addition to reduce your chances of a stroke (20 percent), cardiovascular disease (30 percent), and broken bones (40 percent), can increase creativity by 60 percent. Engaging, entertaining, and informative, A walk around the block is a narrative celebration of all the seemingly random stuff we encounter at any given moment"--

Victor et Lino / by Merola, Caroline.;

Sur l'île en face du village des lapins, l'ours Victor vit en solitaire dans une petite maison de bois qu'il a lui-même bâtie, celle-ci étant séparée de la bourgade par une rivière. Malgré cela, les rongeurs se demandent ce que fabrique leur étrange voisin puisque tous les jours surgissent de son logis de drôles de bruits et de drôles d'odeurs. Les activités nocturnes de Victor intriguent toutefois Lino, un lapin de bonne famille qui n'a pas sommeil, ce dernier l'apercevant en train de déambuler dans les rues avec un sac de toile vide, qu'il remplit avant de repartir chez lui. Convaincu que l'ours est un voleur, il se met à l'espionner pour découvrir qu'il récupère plutôt des objets dont personne ne veut et qui ont été jetés à la décharge. Même s'il prend son courage à deux pattes pour aborder le gros animal, Lino ne réussit pas à obtenir toutes les réponses à ses questions et se décide ainsi à suivre Victor jusqu'à son île.LSC
