Summary:
''The Care Manifesto'' is the fiercely argued demand to place care at the centre of our politics. Our lives are always interdependent. It is by nurturing these ties that we cultivate a world in which every one of us can not only survive but thrive. Care must be at the heart of the state and the economy, promoting collective joy, not the satisfaction of individual desire. It should inform how we work, interact with each other, and plan our cities. It is part of how we can rebalance our relationship with the natural world.

Summary:
In ''The Sense of Sight'', John Berger considers the peculiar and complex practice of attentive observation. Ranging through subjects as distant from each other as the Renaissance from Hiroshima, encountering artists such as Goya, Dürer, and Van Gogh, Berger explores the deeply political nature of our engagement with the visual world. Told through interrelated but wide-ranging essays, ''The Sense of Sight'' is a personal and cultural reflection on the power art has over our feelings and perceptions. Berger shows how art teaches us to see everything with new eyes.

Summary:
The book’s haunting black-and-white images began as frames from wedding and family portraits that Emond created during his years as a photographer—while still bearing the scars of relentless bullying for being gay. Through meticulous post-production processes, he re-works these photographs into surreal self-portraits, turning his former clients into unwitting participants in a visual exorcism of his demons. The book’s title deliberately invites us all to speak his name, not to give it power, but to take it away, to break its hold on him and free him from torment.

Summary:
"X-Urbanism" raises questions about the form of the city by examining various configurations of urban space, analyzing them in ways that blur the traditional opposition between figure and ground. This title serves as a visual lexicon of the formal properties of American urbanism--fabric, void, grid, wall--that reveal the hidden structure of the cities New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, New Haven, Des Moines, and Atlantic City. In the process, X-Urbanism confounds our expectations: it shows us the subtle order of chaotic Los Angeles, and the disruptions of New York's rigorous grid.

Summary:
Here, published for the first time, is one of photography's unknown masterworks: a Viennese lawyer and photographer [Dr. Emil Mayer] whose prints were largely destroyed by the Gestapo after his death. This extraordinary collection establishes Mayer as a master of photography, one of the first in a line of street photographers that includes André Kertész and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Mayer's photographs, taken during the last years of the horse and carriage, offer us a rare and intimate vision of a bygone age. The result is a book that is lyrical, moving, and exquisitely beautiful.

Summary:
For the fourth time in the history of the magazine, the curation of this issue is shared between two people: Sónia Vaz Borges and Léopold Lambert. This issue takes us through radical education initiatives in several geographies in the world, but also in several spaces as different as the mangrove, the prison, the street, the kitchen table, or reading groups. By these varied locations, we mean to question both the material conditions of education, as well as its contents, placing it as a key instrument of revolutionary movements both historically and in the present.

Through Judy Natal’s photographs, the Neon Boneyard becomes a dynamic archaeological site that brings Vegas’s past to life in startling ways. The towering figure of Mr. O’Lucky becomes a home for the homeless, while the crumpled sign of a wedding chapel reflects the faded dreams of a lost paradise.
