Eccentric Renaissance shows how El Greco and two other sixteenth-century Cretan artists, Michael Damaskenos and Georgios Klontzas, actively engaged in a re-casting of the Byzantine tradition of icon painting on the Venetian colony of Crete. In so doing, they created art that articulated a point of view that was shaped outside of and against the hegemonic world of Vasari's account of art history. Building upon their own tradition, they developed a highly original understanding of the icon and explored its power to reconcile Byzantine and Renaissance styles of painting and provide a response to the growing presence of Islam.

Michael Fuerstein explores how democracy drives social progress despite the potential ignorance and irrationality of democratic citizens, arguing that democracy enables "experiments in living": innovations in social practice that transform social emotions and identities and cultivate moral learning.

Civic Solitude explores the importance of intentional solitary political reflection as a civic duty. Robert B. Talisse argues that overemphasis on political collaboration can lead to hostility to outgroups and an erosion of the civic capacities that are necessary for democratic progress. He calls for democratic citizens to prioritize individual reflection alongside collective action as a means of negating the effects of polarization.

In How Stories Change Us, Elaine Reese integrates the latest scientific research on stories from fiction (books, TV shows and movies, videogames) with stories from real life (our personal experiences, including on social media) across the lifespan. The book offers an authoritative yet accessible overview of the new interdisciplinary science of stories, told by a developmental psychologist and autobiographical memory expert with over thirty years of experience conducting research on stories. Reese synthesizes cutting-edge research for an interdisciplinary audience, offers practical tips for parents, teachers, librarians, and policymakers, and she advocates for a more integrated science of stories to allow us to better choose the stories we consume and tell.

The Big Steal uncovers the unusual confluence of ideological views and business interests behind the dilution of legal protections for inventors and artists under U.S. patent and copyright law. Concurrent with the rise of the digital economy, policymakers significantly weakened legal protections against the unauthorized use of technological inventions and creative works. Through an evidence-based analysis informed by the economics and politics of digital markets, Jonathan Barnett shows that this policy shift has advantaged digital intermediaries at the expense of the innovators and artists that drive the knowledge economy
