Work Sights: The Visual Culture of Industry in Nineteenth-Century America
By Vanessa Meikle Schulman, assistant professor, School of Art (University of Massachusetts Press, 2015)
Schulman, a professor of art history, has written a book showing how visual representations of labor, technology, and industry were important in shaping how Americans understood their country and its place in the world in the 19th century. This extensively illustrated book focuses on the period between 1857 and 1887, when the United States saw rapid industrialization. She examines popular and fine art of the time, and the book ranges across the fields of art history, visual studies, the history of technology, and American studies.

Co-authored by Michael Gizzi, associate professor, Department of Criminal Justice Sciences (University Press of Kansas, 2016)
Gizzi has co-authored a book with R. Craig Curtis, an associate professor of political science at Bradley University, that analyzes how Fourth Amendment law has dramatically changed in recent decades in the context of the drug war, automobiles, digital devices, and other modern developments. The book examines application of search and seizure law over time with particular emphasis on recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court. The authors expose the tensions caused by attempts to apply legal doctrine that was created by the Founding Fathers to current problems involving digital privacy.
Putting Image Repair to the Test: Quantitative Applications of Image Restoration Theory
Edited by Joseph Blaney; professor, School of Communication; and associate dean, College of Arts and Sciences (Rowman & Littlefield, 2016)
This book shines new light on repairing tarnished images and public perception of scandals. Blaney, who has researched public perception of image for 20 years, uses quantifiable evidence to shift image repair from a case-study approach to a scientific one. With input from more than 20 scholars, the book examines everything from failed humor to the impact of apologies on public perception, all from a social science approach. The new book also delves into how social media impacts image reparation.
Brain Science for Principals: What School Leaders Need to Know
Edited by Linda Lyman, professor, Department of Educational Administration and Foundations (Rowman & Littlefield, 2016)
In this book, Lyman uses recent findings of educational neuroscience to focus on the leadership of learning. Each of the book’s 24 short chapters explores a question related to learning and offers practical suggestions for principals. The book opens with a section explaining how understanding brain neuroplasticity changes belief in fixed intelligence and goes on to explore several subjects, including neurogenesis, neurodiversity, memory, brain fitness, embodied cognition, multitasking, the role of the arts, ages and stages of the brain, emotional intelligence, and maintaining mindfulness.
