NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
Aver�ng Catastrophe explores how governments ought to make decisions in �mes of imminent disaster. Sunstein argues that using the “maximin rule,” which calls for choosing the approach that eliminates the worst of the worst-case scenarios, may be necessary when public officials lack important informa�on, and when the worst-case scenario is too disastrous to contemplate.

Despite promises from poli�cians, nonprofits, and government agencies, Chicago’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods remain plagued by poverty, failing schools, and gang ac�vity.

We live in an era of tribalism, polariza�on, and intense social division. How did this happen? Sunstein argues that the key to making sense of living in this fractured world lies in understanding the idea of conformity—what it is and how it works—as well as the countervailing force of dissent.

Exposing ethical dilemmas of neuroscien�fic research on violence, Rollins highlights the poten�ally devasta�ng effects of a science that promises to "predict" criminals before crime is commi�ed. He warns against a dystopian future in which behavior is narrowly defined in rela�on to our biological makeup.
In Dispossession and Dissent, Sophie Gonick examines the intersec�on of homeownership and immigrant ac�vism through an analysis of Spain's an�-evic�ons movement, now a hallmark for housing struggles across the globe.

This edited collec�on explores what trauma—seen through an analy�cal lens—can reveal about the early modern period and, conversely, what conceptualiza�ons of psychological trauma from the period can tell us about trauma theory itself.
In Drunk on Genocide, Edward B. Westermann reveals how, over the course of the Third Reich, scenes involving alcohol consump�on and revelry among the SS and police became a rou�ne part of rituals of humilia�on in the camps, ghe�os, and killing fields of Eastern Europe.

Thuy Linh Nguyen Tu examines the legacies of the Vietnam War on contemporary ideas about race and beauty, showing how US war�me efforts to alleviate the environmental and chemical risks to soldiers' skin has impacted how contemporary Vietnamese women use pharmaceu�cal cosme�cs to repair the damage from the war's lingering toxicity. 3
