Nativities of the World
Nativities from around the world in a dazzling variety of styles Nearly one hundred nativities from all over the world--most of which have never before appeared in any book--are collected here. Artisans from locales as diverse as the Czech Republic, Guyana, Burkina Faso, and Bangladesh are represented. There are nativities made with materials ranging from hand-carved wood, blown glass, and wool, to more unique materials such as salt dough, dried maguey cactus, and recycled bicycle parts. The artistry, ingenuity, and diversity of these creations are greatly prized by thousands of nativity collectors worldwide, many of whom have graciously allowed pieces from their own collections to be photographed for this book. Susan Topp Weber has owned and operated Susan's Christmas Shop in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for more than thirty years. She has a prized collection of nativities herself, which began with a gift in 1965, and has sold nativities at her shop since 1978. She is the author of Christmas in Santa Fe.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

Les Conditions de détention des prisonniers ordinaires : rapport 1996
Rétablissement de la peine de mort dans deux États américains, légalisation de la torture en Israël, réouverture de quartiers de haute sécurité en Belgique, multiplication de la détention des demandeurs d'asile en Europe, dépistage obligatoire de la drogue au Royaume Uni, insuffisance des soins accordés aux malades du sida, privatisation des prisons en Australie, les pays riches adoptent des politiques toujours plus répressives, tandis que, dans les pays du sud, les autorités pénitentiaires n'assument plus leurs responsabilités. Les décès causés par la famine, l'absence de soins, le manque d'hygiène et les mutineries se comptent par milliers, en Afrique et en Amérique latine. Ici et là, les mauvais traitements sont constants, et l'impunité perdure. L'année 1995 marque une nouvelle tendance au durcissement dans les prisons observées. Le Rapport 1996 présente les conditions de détention des personnes incarcérées, en 1995, dans 29 pays du monde.
