Assembled from testimonials and interviews with current and former asylum seekers in France, as well as hearing records, administrative letters, and newspaper articles, Papers is a quietly monumental work of documentary art, a harrowing and enlightening portrayal of the modern refugee experience. Gathered here are the voices of men and women from around the world, united by the urgent need to leave their native country, risk their lives to make it to Europe, and begin the often bewildering process of securing the papers that will affirm their right to stay. Related without melodrama or self-pity, these are stories about the absurdity of bureaucracy, the agony of waiting, the pain of leaving everything behind and the courage to do so anyway. They are a testament to the brutal indignities of war and corruption and exile, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of it all. A fearless, candid, compassionate book for our troubled global times.

Das natürliche Material Papier und Pappe ist derzeit Gegenstand der Forschung und Erprobung in der Baupraxis. Es ist kostengünstig herstellbar, besteht aus nachwachsendem Rohstoff und ist gut rezyklierbar. Der Schwerpunkt der Verwendung liegt dabei auf der temporären Nutzung, etwa in Übergangsbauten für Schulen, Notunterkünfte oder „Microhomes'. Richtig vor Nässe und Feuer geschützt, erweist sich das Material als sehr haltbar. Und der architektonische Anspruch kommt dabei keineswegs zu kurz, wie Beispiele von Pritzker-Preisträger Shigeru Ban zeigen: die Grundschule Chengdu, die Paper Concert Hall in Aquila oder die Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch waren jeweils ein Zeichen der Hoffnung nach verheerenden Erdbeben. Die Einführung erklärt die Grundlagen des Bauens mit Papier und zeigt spannende Anwendungen.

Booklist raves, Paper Valley'is a compelling human-interest tale on par with Erin Brockovich and Jonathan Harr's A Civil Action.'When government scientist David Allen arrived at his new jobsite in the 1990s, the Fox River near Wisconsin's Green Bay was dominated by hulking paper mills, noxious industrial odors, and widespread ecological damage. Confronted by his lack of resources to force the politically powerful'Paper Valley'polluters to fix their mess, Allen proceeds against all bureaucratic odds in building a $1 billion case against the paper company bosses. Two small but vital players, Allen along with journalist Susan Campbell were relentless in bringing the case to the public at the time. They do so again in this book: an act of radical transparency to uncover the intrigue that nearly blocked the cleanup behind the scenes at US Fish and Wildlife, Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. In a rare and major environmental win, the Fox River became the site of the largest polychlorinated biphenyls cleanup in history, paid for by the paper companies rather than taxpayers, to the tune of $1.3 billion, and completed in 2020. This true story of struggle, perseverance, and success inspires hope for environmentalists who strive to restore natural landscapes. The detailed account given in this book is meant to inspire and offer practical knowledge and solutions for those fighting similar opponents of environmental cleanup and restoration. Allen and Campbell eloquently outline the problematic bureaucracy involved in environmental cleanup efforts and reveal tactics to compel corporate entities who would dodge accountability for decades worth of contamination. Paper Valley is printed on recycled paper.
