The aim of this series is to publish teachable, empirically rich, and conceptually innovative books that contribute to the comparative anthropology of North America. The series will emphasize ethnographic approaches to contemporary subject matter grouped under five broad headings: Dynamics of Inequality; Transnational Motions; Movements of Change; Entertainment, Play, and Authority; and Post-Industrial Assemblages. The series seeks to be the most reliable destination for teaching and researching North American anthropology.

From Penn State University Press: the Graphic Medicine book series. Books in the series are curated by an editorial collective with scholarly, creative, and clinical expertise, and attest to a growing awareness of the value of comics as an important resource for communicating about a range of issues broadly termed “medical.” For healthcare practitioners, patients, and families and caregivers dealing with illness and disability, graphic narrative enlightens complicated or difficult experiences. For scholars in literary, cultural, and comics studies, the genre articulates a complex and powerful analysis of illness, medicine, and disability and a rethinking of the boundaries of “health.” Diverse in approach, the series includes monographic studies and edited collections from scholars, practitioners, and medical educators, as well as original comics from artists and non-artists alike, such as self-reflective “graphic pathographies” or comics used in medical training and education, providing a creative way to learn and teach.

Raids carried out by small units, special forces and counter-terrorist groups can be astoundingly successful, defying the odds and all logic as a small number of soldiers operating in difficult environments are able to exact massive tactical victories, which can change the course of a war. Or the raiders can find themselves isolated, surrounded by a superior enemy force and, with little chance of escape, facing complete failure. Raid, the new series from Osprey Publishing, looks at both sides of these engrossing stories. Its unique approach will give the reader a detailed study of each raid, describing the background and history behind each engagement, assessing the initial assault strategy, evaluating how the raid was implemented and providing an analysis of its achievements. Complete with stunning artwork, maps, detailed bird’s eye views and dozens of photographs, the Raid series brings each of these epic engagements to life, revealing some incredible tales of heroism and military skill, discussing what went right and what went wrong, and revealing the men behind these bold actions.

Lillabulero was a small literary magazine founded and principally edited by Russell Banks and William Matthews in 1964 while both were students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The magazine ran through 14 issues and contained poetry and prose works by lesser-known authors, as well as critical pieces discussing developments in modern literature. Issues 1-5 were published in Chapel Hill, N.C.; subsequent numbers were published in Northwood Narrows, N.H. Banks and Matthews also founded a small press under the same name, which issued a series of chapbooks and other compilations of literary work.. These undertakings were abandoned in 1974 to allow Banks and Matthews to devote more time to their own creative projects. Russell Banks subsequently published many works of fiction including Affliction (1989)), Cloudsplitter (1998), and The Sweet Hereafter (1991). William Matthews published several books of poetry, including A Happy Childhood (1984) and Time and Money (1997), before his death in 1997.

The American Aces Speak series is a highly charged five-volume excursion into life and death in the air, told by men who excelled and triumphed in aerial combat and lived to tell about it. In sum, it is an emotional rendering of what brave airmen felt and how they fought in the now-dim days of America's living national history. These are America's eagles, and the stories are their own, in their very own words.

The Making History Series is launched with an exciting retelling of one of the moments that shook the world -- Waterloo, one of the truly decisive battles of history. The illustrious Making History Series, edited by Lisa Jardine and Amanda Foreman, explores an eclectic mix of history's tipping points. Here, the most eminent of guest writers have been invited to present a subject closest to their heart, presenting the grand theatre of the past in a collection of inventive and provocative essays. The series awakens fresh interest in subjects long before us -- the decline of Aztec Empire, Waterloo, Nuremberg -- as well as uncovering the seemingly quiet moments of chance which turned subsequent events on their head. In Waterloo, Roberts provides not only a fizzing account of one of the most significant 48 hour periods of all time, but also a startling revaluation on the methodology of history -- is it possible to create an accurate picture from a single standpoint? What we can say for certain about the battle is that it ended forever the one of the great personal world-historical epics. The career of Napoleon was brought to a shuddering halt on the evening of 18th June 1815.Interwoven in the clear-cut narrative are exciting revelations brought to light by recent research: accident rather than design led to the crucial cavalry debacle that lost the battle. Amongst the all-too-human explanation for the blunder that cost Napoleon his throne, Roberts sets the political, strategic and historical scene, and finally shows why Waterloo was such an important historical punctuation mark. The generation after Waterloo saw the birth of the modern era: ghastly as the carnage here was, henceforth the wars of the future were fought with infinitely more ghastly methods of trenches, machine-guns, directed starvation, concentration camps, and aerial bombardment. By the time of the Great War, chivalry was utterly dead. The honour of bright uniform and tangible spirit of elan, espirit, eclat met their final dance at Waterloo.

Dr. Grady McWhiney, the long-time general editor of the Civil War Campaigns and Commanders Series, best described the purpose of the series many years ago when the series was envisioned. The notable Civil War historian wrote: “Few segments of America’s past excite more interest than Civil War battles and leaders. This ongoing series of brief, lively, and authoritative books — Civil War Campaigns and Commanders — salutes this passion with inexpensive and accurate accounts that are readable in a sitting. Each volume, separate and complete in itself, nevertheless conveys the agony, death, and wreckage that defined America’s greatest tragedy. The series is designed for Civil War enthusiasts as well as the newly recruited, with emphasis on telling good stories. Photographs and biographical sketches enhance the narrative of each book, and maps depict events as they happened. Sound history is meshed with the dramatic in a format that is just lengthy enough to inform and yet satisfy.” — Grady McWhiney (1928-2006)
