The Croatian scientific and academic community has been granted trial access to the collection of e-books and textbooks by the British publisher Manchester University Press. The collection includes more than 2,800 books in the field of social sciences, arts and humanities, and they are available for reading online on the Manchesterhive platform. Access is open until 20 June and I recommend that you check out the selection of titles, especially the Rethinking Art History series.
