Anthony J. Martin
“With an equal dose of wit and scholarship, Martin turns what is literally a boring topic—how animals and other species drill and chew through rock, bone, and wood— into an epic tale of evolution. Fun and readable, yet aca demically rigorous, Martin is one of the finest populariz ers of paleontology today, and one of my favorite science writers.”—Steve Brusatte, New York Times–bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs

Who’s a Good Dog? And How to Be a Better Human
Jessica Pierce
“
Who’s a Good Dog? is sorely needed to fill essentially a void in the public conversation about the human‑dog relationship. Pierce bravely asks us to examine our assumptions about our dogs’ emotional landscapes, and to consider our own actions and choices within those relationships. Her book is a comprehensive, accessible manual for people who have never before considered the basic ethical implications of living with a dog.”

Ocean Bestiary
Meeting Marine Life from Abalone to Orca to Zooplankton
Written and illustrated by Richard J. King
“Ocean Bestiary engages readers in the ocean’s intricacies and significance, by telling curious, at times humorous stories of its animals as seen through the eyes of people who have spent time at sea—observing, sailing, fishing, and studying often in remote, unseen parts of the planet. The diversity of storytellers and human characters— with a particular focus on people from non‑Western, non‑white ethnic backgrounds—helps us to see that the ocean is for everyone. Fresh, accessible, and with enter taining illustrations, these are stories worth telling and well told.”—Helen Scales, author of The Brilliant Abyss

Oil Beach
How Toxic Infrastructure Threatens Life in the Ports of Los Angeles and Beyond
Christina Dunbar-Hester
“Oil Beach accomplishes that rarest of feats: it transforms the way the world looks, bringing into view the hidden logic that structures the very ground beneath our feet. The story of the LA ports is hugely consequential and, in Dunbar‑Hester’s hands, it’s also exhilarating, encom passing both the broad sweep of change and the small details that give meaning to our landscape. It’s unusual to find an academic book that’s hard to put down, but Dunbar‑Hester’s smart, sometimes funny, and always elo quent voice is truly singular.”—Miriam

Dr. Nurse
Science, Politics, and the Transformation of American Nursing
Dominique A. Tobbell
“
Dr. Nurse is a very rewarding read. Using perspectives drawn from the sociology of the professions and feminist histories of science, Tobbell explores the ways nurse sci entists are both undervalued and in high demand, then connects that paradox convincingly to nursing’s own difficulties confronting racial and class diversity among its practitioners. Her argument is cogent and illustrated by engaging case studies.”—Nancy Tomes, Stony Brook University

Rebecca Whiteley
“Whiteley’s work, at the intersection of medical and art history, beautifully illuminates the multiple meanings of images of unborn children in early modern Europe. She offers fresh, sophisticated, and nuanced interpretations of images that have puzzled me for years!”
—Mary E. Fissell, Johns Hopkins University
“Recovering midwives’ pictorial practice while putting anatomy in its place, Whiteley reconstructs how copy ing drove innovation and viewers made meanings. Her appealing book thus extends reproductive, gender, and visual studies, as well as histories of art, medicine, and the body.”—Nick Hopwood, University of Cambridge
