The Rise of Catalan Identity
This volume helps us to understand that the current political disorders in Catalonia have deep cultural roots.

Zoo Portraits
While a fantastic cause, can the task of protecting animal rights and habitats also be fun? The answer for Spanish photographer Yago Partal is "yes!" as he joyfully embraces important environmental activism with his form of inventive entertainment. His aim is to increase our awareness of animals who need protection - from the Amur leopard to the plains zebra - with his Zoo Portraits project, which launched in 2013.
