STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
For some, automa�on will usher in a labor-free utopia; for others, it signals a disastrous age-tocome. Munn moves from machine minders in China to warehouse pickers in the United States to explore the ways that new technologies do (and don't) reconfigure labor. Combining this rich array of human stories with insights from media and cultural studies, Munn points to a more nuanced, localized, and racialized understanding of the "future of work."

Ultrasound and the Visuality of Care in Phnom Penh Jenna Grant
Technology, Aggression, and the Rush to War Robert H. Latiff UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS
Describes the many provoca�ons to violence, how technologies are abe�ng those urges, and explores what can be done to mi�gate not only dangerous human behaviors but also dangerous technical behaviors as well. This is an impassioned plea for peace from an individual who spent decades preparing for war.
Introduced in Phnom Penh around 1990, at the twilight of socialism and a�er two decades of conflict and upheaval, ultrasound took root in humanitarian and then priva�zed medicine. Services have since mul�plied, promising diagnos�c informa�on and be�er prenatal and general health care. Jenna Grant draws on years of research to theorize the force and appeal of medical imaging in the urban landscape of Phnom Penh. 2

Medieval books that survive today have been through a lot: singed by fire, mo�led by mold, eaten by insects, annotated by readers, cut into fragments, or damaged through well-inten�oned preserva�on efforts. In this book, Michelle Warren tells the story of one such manuscript— an Arthurian romance with textual origins in twel�hcentury England now diffused across the twentyfirst century internet.
The Northern Forest Region lies between the oak forests of the eastern United States and the boreal forests of eastern Canada. It is, collec�vely, one of the largest and most con�nuous temperate forests le� in the world and it is at risk. This guide is an essen�al companion for those interested in stewardship and conserva�on of the region.

Why do apocalyp�c metaphors abound in the field of ed tech and what purpose do they serve? As Weller explores, there is significant poten�al for the use of metaphor in ed tech. He demonstrates that metaphors can enable educators to move beyond pragma�c concerns into more imagina�ve uses of technology while he cau�ons against many of the exis�ng metaphors that play into the adop�on of technology that damages and limits the learner experience.

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
Walleye: the holy grail of game fish. Among the more than 34,000 species of fish, few have the walleye’s following. And among those passionate fans, few know the walleye as well as Paul J. Radomski does—a fisheries biologist, lake ecology scien�st, and old fisherman. In Walleye: A Beau�ful Fish of the Dark he unspools the mysteries of this fascina�ng fish.
Examining the recep�on of evolu�onary biology, the 1925 Scopes Trial, and the New Atheist movement of the 2000s, Schaefer theorizes the rela�onship between thinking and feeling by challenging the conven�onal wisdom that they are separate. He concludes that science, secularism, atheism, and reason itself are not separate from feeling, but comprehensively defined by it.
