Kearen fiordoa
Hiru itsasontzi abiatu dira, 1615. urteko udaberrian, Donostiatik Islandiara, baleak arrantzatzeko asmoz. Aurreko urteotan bezala, hango Ipar Mendebaldeko Fiordoetako magistratu Ari Magnussonekin sinatutako hitzarmen bat dute horretarako baimen. Alabaina, Danimarkako erregeak moztu egin nahi du kanpoko balezaleen jarduna, bere erresumaren monopolioa zaintze aldera, eta guztiz debekatu du edozein arrantza mota uhartean. Bizkaitarren gaineko heriotza zigorra ere ezarri du erregeak. Horrek bi pareten artean jarri du Ari Magnusson. Kontratu bat du euskaldunekin, baina erregearen agindua bestaldean. Arrantza denboraldia pasatzen utziko du magistratuak, nahiz eta gertutik jarraitu euskaldunen jarduna.
Begirada bat Kubari
Kubak sentimendu asko eragiten du (aldeko nahiz kontrako), eta galdera ugari ere bai. Fidel Castro, Kuba urte askoan gidatu duen komandante iraultzailea, azkenekotan da,eta horrek are eta galdera gehiago eragiten dizkigu. Zer gertatuko da Fidel hiltzen denean? Trantsizioa etorriko al da? Edo jarraipena? Iñaki Petxarroman kazetaria Kubara joan, eta hango jendeari (aldeko nahiz kontrako) galdezka hasi da, uharteko egoeraren piezak osatu nahian, Kubako egoera zein den ezagutu nahian. Liburu hau ahalegin horren fruitu da.

Julip
In three novellas, Jim Harrison takes us on an American journey as he leads us through the wondrous landscape of the human heart. In this “richly allusive and wickedly funny” collection, Jim Harrison offers “three delightful studies of unique individuals battling inventively against society’s demands for conformity” (Library Journal). Julip follows a bright and resourceful young woman as she tries to spring her brother from a Florida jail—he shot three of her former lovers below the belt. The Seven-Ounce Man continues the picaresque adventures of Brown Dog, a Michigan scoundrel who loves to eat, drink, and chase women, all while sailing along in the bottom 10 percent. The Beige Dolorosa is the haunting tale of an academic who, recovering from the repercussions of a sexual harassment scandal, turns to the natural world for solace. In each of these stories, the irresistible pull of nature becomes a magnificent backdrop for exploring the toughest questions about life and love.
Slow Journalism
Slow Journalism has emerged in recent years to enact a critique of the limitations and dangers of the speed of much mainstream contemporary journalistic practice. There have been types of journalism produced and consumed slowly for centuries, of course. What is new is the context of hyper-acceleration and over-production of journalism, where quality has suffered, ethics are compromised and user attention has eroded. Many have been asking if there is another way to practice journalism. The emergence of Slow Journalism suggests that there is. Many international scholars and practitioners have been thinking critically about the problems wrought by speed, and are utilising the concept of "slow" to describe a new way of thinking about and producing journalism. This edited collection offers theoretical perspectives and case studies on the practice of slow journalism around the globe. Slow Journalism is a new practice for new times. This book was originally published as two special issues of Journalism Practice and Digital Journalism.
