The Literature of Extreme Poverty in the Great Depression recovers a mostly forgotten record of how the people who lived through the Depression understood its suffering in novels, stories, poems, and political cartoons.

How the World Flows shows that many processes essential to life on Earth are microfluidic marvels. It examines how our cells breathe, feed, and fight diseases through small capillaries. Many ancient human inventions rely on microfluidics, but the size of the fluid interactions in these systems, natural and human-made, has prevented most people from appreciating their inner workings. Through engaging and digestible stories, Folch takes a lens to this tiny science and demonstrates how big a role microfluidics play in life as we know it.

This book is a novel look at developments in Mediterranean antiquity that became essential components of the modern world. Instead of the usual fare, such as Greek democracy, Roman law, and barbarian invasions, it discusses the development of individual rights, naturalized citizenship, and governing a multi-ethnic state, as well as a topic often ignored: the development of monotheism. The book is concise and written to be accessible to both the general reader and students in introductory courses in world civilization and ancient civilization classes.
