Books I’ve Edited

Works-in-Progress

The Price of Mercy
Former public defender and co-founder of Partners for Justice Emily Galvin-Almanza’s insider narrative account of how twisted our legal system has become, and a clarion call to strengthen public defense and center the humanity of both the people ensnared in criminal court and those who wield its power.

Everything is Material
Assistant Professor in Archaeology at Leiden University Maikel Kuijpers’s major new history of humankind explored through our relationship with the materials that shape the modern world—wood, soil, brick, steel, concrete, glass, plastic, and fertilizer—which makes the case that a sustainable future depends on how we live with materials.

Gross
Author of Hurts So Good Leigh Cowart's deep dive into the biology and psychology of the paradoxically seductive emotion of disgust—how it preserves personal and communal dynamics and protects our boundaries—and its intrinsic relationship with curiosity, desire, and belonging.

Gods and Monsters
Variety film and media executive editor Tatiana Siegel's behind-the-scenes story of the DC universe in film, one of the most storied, dramatic, and successful superhero franchises in Hollywood history, from George Reeves to David Corenswet.
