It is hard to find a corner of the world where celebrations are not linked to food in one way or another. Sharing a meal, cooking special dishes, and eating symbolic foods are rituals-almost inadvertent ones-that are present in all cultures and that make up the gamut of what is known as culinary specialties or ethnic food. This 224-page book is a complete tour through Colombian cuisine, illustrated with 199 exceptional color photographs by Hans Doring that enable us to appreciate the succulent appearance of each dish and of its various ingredients. Due to Colombia's geographical and cultural variety, this country has a vast culinary repertoire that is deep rooted in its history: the native Indian and the Spaniard traditions finely seasoned at times by a pinch of African and by the various influences of immigration. This book is a treasure chest of more than 133 recipes form the diverse regions of Colombia, described with just the right amount of detail to obtain a perfect meal.

Armed with imagination, ingenuity, and an adoration of the city of Cartagena de Indias, the authors of this book attached a photographic camera to a remote control helicopter and succeeded at portraying this amazing city of yesteryear from remarkable heights. Due in large part to its military fortresses, city walls, and bastions, Cartagena de Indias is one of the most stunning cities in the world. Photographing it from the air makes it possible for the first time to capture in images the infrastructure and grandeur of this so-called "Heroic City." Con imaginación, ingenio, y un amor para Cartagena de Indias, los autores de este maravilloso libro adecuaron una cámara fotográfica a un helicóptero manejado a control remoto y lograron este retrato sorprendente de esta ciudad de antaño desde las alturas. Debido a sus instalaciones militares y imponentes fortificaciones, Cartagena de Indias es una de las ciudades más impresionantes del mundo. La fotografía del aire lo hace posible ver en una imagen el plan entero de la llamada ciudad "Heroica."

In 2015, Benjamin Villegas traveled to Texas in an attempt to write the biography of a music group that could have changed the history of rock: ELPASO, a Chicano band from the U.S.-Mexico border with a punk sensibility, a long since-defunct crew, and little left to remember it by but a suitcase of fanzines and one-off recordings. This is the story of one of the many bands that will never appear in rock n’ roll history books, but is at the core of the scene; a band that earned its stripes from sweaty fans and self-taught rock aficionados in basements, garages, and small venues across the country. This is the story of two kids who came together to embrace the punk ethos of the 80’s and be a part of the rock n’ roll revolution sweeping the US, a world of the Ramones, Black Flag, and, of course, ELPASO.

There are few cities in the New World that hold as many 16th and 17th century buildings as does Cartagena, Colombia. As a result, it has been designated as part UNESCO's World Heritage programme. The Colombian architect Álvaro Barrera was given responsibility for conservation of old Cartagena and half of the two-story houses in the walled district of the city have been restored to a new level of beauty. Restorations by Barrera respect the essence of the colonial period, even as he has adapted structures for 21st century use. His feeling for materials and colours enables him to harmonise the original structures with his contemporary designs. This book will become an standard reference for anyone who is interested in architectural restoration and preservation in an age of innovation.
