In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas shows how US corporations' influence on tech regulation paved the way for exploitative data gathering, not just by US corporations, but by Chinese corporations as well. To resolve this issuein the US requires changing foundational values not just in the tech ecosystem, but in the relationship between industry and government in the United States.

This short biography explores the life and science of the famous Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, focusing on his lifelong quest to understand the torments of our consciousness. Daniel P. Todes analyzes Pavlov's Nobel Prize-winning research on digestion and his iconic studies of conditional reflexes. He demonstrates that, contrary to myth, this brilliant experimenter did not use a bell, was uninterested in training dogs, was not a behaviorist, and was a profoundly anthropomorphic thinker. He also explores the importance of his little-known research on chimps, and his final, unfinished manuscript on the relationship of science, Christianity, and Bolshevism.

In the first English-language history of the Berlin zoo, Gary Bruce traces the fascinating story of one of Germany's most popular cultural institutions, from its 19th century displays of "exotic" peoples to Nazi attempts to breed back long-extinct European cattle.

The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution offers a new, comparative history of the American Revolution that puts colonized people at the center of the story.

To understand Americans' contemporary struggles with diversity, this complex imperial history is essential.

Lifting the Chains is a history of the Black experience in America since the Civil War, told by one of our mostdistinguished historians of modern America, William H. Chafe.

In On Dangerous Ground, Gregory B. Poling evaluates US interests in the world's most complex and dangerous maritime disputes: American involvement in the South China Sea. Providing a deep history of America's geostrategy in the region from the late 19th century to present day, he focuses on how the dispute intersected with the longstanding US commitment to freedom of the seas and its evolving alliance network in Asia. With a heavy emphasis on decisions madeby policymakers in Washington, Manila, and other Southeast Asian capitals, this book not only provides the most comprehensive account yet of America's history in the South China Sea, but it also demonstrates how that history should inform US national security policy in one of the most geopolitically importantocean areas in the world.

In Diminishing Returns, Lucio Baccaro, Mark Blyth, and Jonas Pontusson bring together a list of top contributors in the field to examine capitalist economies in times where economic growth has slowed down considerably. As economic growth is a powerful social stabilizer and contributes to make the characteristic features of capitalism, the key question motivating the volume is: What happens when growth-the main mechanism of capitalist legitimation-is harderto come by and less broadly shared? The volume analyzes the politics of growth and stagnation at the country, regional, and global level through a new theoretical framework: the Growth Model Perspective.
