With contributions by: Jamie Allen, Kirsti Andersen, Peter Aronsson, Luca Basso Peressut, Iain Chambers, Mela Dávila Freire, Gordon J. Fyfe, David Gauthier, Perla Innocenti, Francesca Lanz, Rhiannon Mason, Mark Nash, Massimo Negri, Giovanni Pinna, Gennaro Postiglione, Sreten Ugričić, Michel Van Praët, and Chris Whitehead.
