From chef and food activist Alice Waters an impassioned plea for a radical reconsideration of the way each and every one of us cooks and eats In We Are What We Eat Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture the philosophy at the core of her life's work. When Waters first opened Chez Panisse in 1971 she did so with the intention of feeding people good food during a time of political turmoil. Customers responded to the locally sourced organic ingredients to the dishes made by hand and to the welcoming hospitality that infused the small space—human qualities that were disappearing from a country increasingly seduced by takeout frozen dinners and prepackaged ingredients. Waters came to see that the phenomenon of fast food culture which prioritized cheapness availability and speed was not only ruining our health but also dehumanizing the ways we live and relate to one another. Over years of working with regional farmers Waters and her partners learned how geography and seasonal fluctuations affect the ingredients on the menu as well as about the dangers of pesticides the plight of fieldworkers and the social economic and environmental threats posed by industrial farming and food distribution. So many of the serious problems we face in the world today—from illness to social unrest to economic disparity and environmental degradation—are all at their core connected to food. Fortunately there is an antidote. Waters argues that by eating in a "slow food way" each of us—like the community around her restaurant—can be empowered to prioritize and nurture a different kind of culture one that champions values such as biodiversity seasonality stewardship and pleasure in work. This is a declaration of action against fast food values and a working theory about what we can do to change the course. As Waters makes clear every decision we make about what we put in our mouths affects not only our bodies but also the world at large—our families our communities and our environment. We have the power to choose what we eat and we have the potential for individual and global transformation—simply by shifting our relationship to food. All it takes is a taste.

Entrepreneurs : LAZIES (maçonnerie). MATHELIN et GARNIER (Fontainerie). Rare et important ouvrage illustré de 6 photographies originales, dont 2 sur double page, et de 19 planches doubles, techniques et architecturales, témoignant de l’ampleur des travaux effectués à Montmartre à la fin du XIXe siècle, afin d’améliorer l’alimentation en eau d’un quartier en pleine croissance démographique. En effet, les sources naturelles présentes sur les flancs de la butte qui alimentèrent longtemps de nombreuses fontaines ne suffisaient plus : il fallait donc aller capter de l’eau de rivières (ce que permet dès 1834 une machine hydraulique édifiée à Saint-Ouen), la monter au sommet – au moyen d’une pompe à vapeur -, et enfin la stocker, d’où la construction en 1835 d’un château d’eau qui fonctionnera jusqu’en 1927. A partir de 1887, sous la houlette d’Adolphe Alphand, Directeur des Travaux de la Ville de Paris, sont entrepris deux chantiers de grande envergure. Le premier est la construction de deux réservoirs (un « grand » et un « petit »), dotés d’une capacité totale de 11 000 m3, dont la conception est confiée aux ingénieurs Bechmann et Journet et les plans sont dressés par l’architecte Diet (photographies 4 et 5). L’ouvrage occupe l’emplacement de l’ancien pressoir à raisins de l’abbaye des Dames de Montmartre, rue Azaïs, sur une colline sableuse à environ 128 m d’altitude. La nature du sol complexifie énormément les travaux, d'autant que l'usage du béton pour les fondations, d'un coût prohibitif, est exclu. Les deux concepteurs ont donc misé sur la pression de l'eau contenue dans les réservoirs pour stabiliser le banc de sable présent à cet endroit. Néanmoins, une partie de ce sable (avec les gravats) fut évacuée par des wagonnets tirés par une locomotive à vapeur (photographie 3), tandis que l'on imaginait d'ingénieux systèmes pour garantir l'étanchéité de l'édifice. Le sous-sol, les murs et le sol sont donc réalisés en meulière, les voûtes de la couverture en briquettes, et les piliers intérieurs en maçonnerie de brique de Bourgogne. Autre contrainte : la proximité du Sacré-Cœur (édifié à partir de 1886), qui requiert une harmonisation du style décoratif du bâtiment avec l’architecture néo-byzantine de la basilique (photographie 6), et là intervient le calcaire blanc des carrières de Souppes-sur-Loing et Château-Landon. Le second chantier de cette même année 1887 est celui de la nouvelle usine de relevage (ou élévatoire) Saint-Pierre, qui alimente à la fois le château d’eau et le réservoir. Ce dernier, définitivement opérationnel en 1889, pourvu de respectivement deux et trois étages, distribue l’eau dans les quartiers bas de Montmartre encore de nos jours. Les deux premières photographies, sur doubles pages, prises en 1886 et 1889, attestent de la transformation du paysage de la butte lorsque les réservoirs sont achevés.
