The Mask: A History of Breathing Bad Air (Yale UP, 2025) by Dr. Bruno J. Strasser and Dr. Thomas Schlich presents a history of masks protecting against bad air—in cities, factories, hospitals, and war trenches—exploring how our identities and beliefs shape the decision to wear a mask. For centuries, humans have sought to protect themselves from harmful air, whether from smoke, dust, vapors, or germs. This book offers the first history of respiratory masks—ranging from simple pieces of cloth to elaborate gas masks—and explores why they have sparked both hope and fear. Dr. Strasser and Dr. Schlich captivate readers with stories of individuals—from renowned doctors and political leaders to forgotten inventors and anonymous factory workers—who passionately debated the value of masks. In Renaissance Italy and Meiji Japan, in Victorian Britain and Cold War America, the way societies have engaged with face coverings reveals their deepest cultural and political fractures. The Mask challenges us to reconsider how we care for one another and the kind of environment we aspire to inhabit. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Sujet central dʹactualité et objet de crise majeure, les énergies ont été de tout temps indissociables de lʹévolution des sociétés. Histoire Vivante vous propose dʹexplorer quelques chapitres de son histoire, en questionnant la notion de " transition énergétique ", expression communément admise et pourtant inventée, alors même que les transitions dans ce domaine nʹont jamais réellement existé, les énergies nʹayant fait que croître dans lʹHistoire. A la question comment et pourquoi a-t-on fait ce choix de lʹénergie nucléaire en Suisse au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, nous verrons que le nucléaire civil et militaire ont été intimement liés, dans un climat profondément anticommuniste. Bruno J. Strasser, historien des sciences et des techniques à lʹUniversité de Genève, est au micro de Laurent Huguenin-Elie. Il a notamment travaillé sur le rôle de la neutralité helvétique dans la coopération scientifique internationale pendant la guerre froide et sur la Suisse à lʹâge atomique.

Sujets d'actualité et objets de crises majeures, les énergies ont été de tous temps indissociables de l'évolution des sociétés. Histoire Vivante vous propose d'explorer quelques chapitres de leur histoire, en questionnant la notion de "transition énergétique". Une expression communément admise et pourtant créée de toutes pièces, alors même que ces transitions n'ont jamais existé, les énergies n'ayant fait que croître au fil de l'Histoire. En Suisse, au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le choix de l'énergie nucléaire a été fait dans un contexte où le nucléaire civil et militaire étaient intimement liés, et dans un climat profondément anticommuniste. Bruno J. Strasser, historien des sciences et des techniques à l'Université de Genève, est au micro de Laurent Huguenin-Elie. Il a notamment travaillé sur le rôle de la neutralité helvétique dans la coopération scientifique internationale pendant la guerre froide et sur la Suisse à l'âge atomique.
