'Anecdotal Evidence' reveals the deep intertwining of history and ecology in culture, extending to the infrastructure of streaming video media and mass image databases. An original take on Anthropocene anxieties and technological paranoia, the text proposes that the digital humanities still need the traditional skills of close reading to understand our contemporary condition.

More&More is an art and research project that explores the language and mechanics of global trade, container shipping, and the exchange of goods. It questions a mercantile structure that by necessity disallows the presence of ocean as a real space in order to flatten the world into a Pangaea of capital. The project is presented in two volumes, released in conjunction with an exhibition of Marina Zurkow’s work (with collaborators Sarah Rothberg, Surya Mattu, and others) at bitforms gallery in New York City in February 2016. This book, More&More (The Invisible Oceans), is a catalog of the exhibition, featuring many full-color images of the art on display (including video stills, bespoke bathing suits, and fungal sculptures), as well as an introduction by Marina Zurkow and a conversation between Zurkow and international curator Kathleen Forde. Its companion book, More&More (A Guide to the Harmonized System), is an experimental “brick” of a book that intervenes in the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (also known as the HS Code). The HS Code is the internationally accepted standard of product classification, which codifies the way nations conduct import/export. All legal trade products (and illegal ones that find loopholes) are shipped using this system. More&More (A Guide to the Harmonized System) lists the astonishing variety of items that are shipped around the world, and includes instructions for using the code to ship items (both legally and illegally). It also includes poetic, personal, and scholarly annotations by Stacy Alaimo, Heather Davis, Kathleen Forde, Dylan Gauthier, Elena Glasberg, Calliope Mathios, Steve Mentz, Astrida Neimanis, Chris Piuma, Elspeth Probyn, Sarah Rothberg, Phil Steinberg, Rita Wong, and Marina Zurkow.

In their bold experimentation and bracing engagement with culture and politics, the "New Hollywood" films of the late 1960s and early 1970s are justly celebrated contributions to American cinematic history. Relatively unexplored, however, has been the profound environmental sensibility that characterized movies such as The Wild Bunch, Chinatown, and Nashville. This brisk and engaging study explores how many hallmarks of New Hollywood filmmaking, such as the increased reliance on location shooting and the rejection of American self-mythologizing, made the era such a vividly "grounded" cinematic moment. Synthesizing a range of narrative, aesthetic, and ecocritical theories, it offers a genuinely fresh perspective on one of the most studied periods in film history.

What's playing at the local multiplex? More than one might imagine. As the present book makes clear, Hollywood filmmakers can wrap a serious message on the sustainability of life on Earth in even the most gossamer of entertainments. Brereton (communication, Dublin City Univ., Ireland) offers compelling evidence that some contemporary Hollywood cinema is, in a manner all its own, encouraging audiences to take a stand on issues of environmentalism, ecology, and conservation (as distinguished from simply trotting out one vision of dystopia after another). Citing such mainstream films as 2012, Bambi, FernGully: The Last Rainforest, Interstellar, Out of Africa, and even the James Bond film Quantum of Solace, along with some 100 other films, Brereton makes a persuasive case that even in the most seemingly compromised entertainments, there is often a call to action?usually slipped in subliminally or as a subplot?for viewers to heed and act on (which many do). Written in a smooth, accessible style, Brereton's book treats a vitally important subject.
