Humanity was nomadic for 99% of its existence.
Sedentary life, national borders and the creation of identity documents for
increasingly stricter population control are comparatively recent phenomena,
and paradoxical given that the world is becoming ever more globalized. The
recent emergence of populist movements in the West that are focused on closing
borders and rejecting others raises serious questions about our sense of fraternity,
especially when we could be facing ever larger migration movements due to the
climate crisis.

This book concisely explains what migration is, its
causes and consequences, and the humanistic and legal aspects regarding it in
the simplest, most objective ways possible, so that children have all the
information they need to understand the world around them.

Moving to Mars is an illustrated book that uses science, technology and imagination to present what the future of space travel to the Red Planet might look like and exploration of the lives of its first settlers.

The human race's desire to explore the boundaries of the known world drove our ancestors to climb the tallest mountains, conquer the poles and cross vast uncharted oceans before ultimately reaching out into space in the 1960s. Huge rockets were built to allow our space pioneers to travel beyond Earth's orbit and land on the Moon.

But there is another frontier that we have yet to set foot on - Mars. The Red Planet is our next destination; it will be a long process, starting with small scientific bases hidden among craters and ending with enormous self-sustaining cities. But what will the journey from Earth to Mars be like? What will we find when we land? Where will we get oxygen and food? In this book, you will find answers to all these questions about day-to-day life in a Martian city. Mars offers us the opportunity to start anew - are you ready for lift-off?
