Moral Machines: Teaching Robots Right from WrongColin AllenComputers are already approving financial transactions, controlling electrical supplies, and driving trains. Soon, service robots will be taking care of the elderly in their homes, and military robots will have their own targeting and firing protocols. Colin Allen and Wendell Wallach argue that as robots take on more and more responsibility, they must be programmed with moral decision-making abilities, for our own safety. As the authors show, the quest to build machines that are capable of telling right from wrong has begun. Moral Machines is the first book to examine the challenge of building artificial moral agents, probing deeply into the nature of human decision making and ethics. Due 11/08, Book #: AL524, ISBN 13: 978-019-537404-9Oxford, $33.95

The Apology Ritual: A Philosophical Theory of PunishmentChristopher Bennett (University of Sheffield)Christopher Bennett presents a theory of punishment grounded in the practice of apology, and in particular in reactions such as feeling sorry and making amends. He argues that offenders have a ‘right to be punished’ that it is part of taking an offender seriously as a member of a normatively demanding relationship (such as friendship or collegiality or citizenship) that they are subject to retributive attitudes when they violate the demands of that relationship. His book is a rich and original contribution to the debate over punishment and restorative justice. Due 9/08, Book #: BBU17, ISBN 13: 978-0521-88072-5Cambridge, $94.95

Desire: A History of Sexuality in Europe from the Greeks to the PresentAnna ClarkDesire: A History of European Sexuality is a sweeping survey of sexuality in Europe from the Greeks to the present day. It traces two concepts of sexual desire that have competed in European history: desire as dangerous, polluting, and disorderly; and desire as creative, transcendent, even revolutionary. Written in a lively and engaging style the book contains many fascinating anecdotes drawing on a rich array of sources including poetry, novels, pornography and film as well as court records, autobiographies and personal letters. While Anna Clark builds on the work of dozens of historians, she also takes a fresh approach and introduces the concepts of twilight moments and sexual economies.Due 11/08, Book #: C3790, ISBN 13: 978-0415-77518-2Routledge, $33.95

Belonging: A Culture of PlaceBell HooksWhat does it mean to call a place home? Who is allowed to become a member of a community? When can we say that we truly belong? These are some of the questions of place and belonging that renowned cultural critic Bell Hooks examines in her new book, Belonging: A Culture of Place. Traversing past and present, Belonging charts a cyclical journey in which Hooks moves from place to place, from country to city and back again, only to end where she began--her old Kentucky home. Due 10/08, Book #: HS089, ISBN 13: 978-0415-96816-4Routledge, $20.95

Reel to Real: Race, Sex and Class at the MoviesBell HooksIn her book Reel To Real, Bell Hooks talks back to films she has watched, as a way to engage the pedagogy of cinema--the way film teaches its audience. Bell Hooks comes to film, not as a film critic but as a cultural critic, fascinated by the issues movies raise--the ways cinema depicts race, sex, and class. Reel To Real not only brings together hooks’ classic essays on films such as Paris Is Burning, but also newer work on Pulp Fiction, Crooklyn and Waiting To Exhale.

Then it was Destroyed by the Volcano: The Ancient World in Film and on TelevisionArthur J. PomeroyDepictions of the ancient world on the stage and in art have always competed with the reconstruction of the past by academics. The rise of cinema and television has heightened the difficulty in distinguishing between elite and popular culture. On American TV, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has incorporated aspects of the classical within the high school horror genre. Alexander the Great has been recreated in an animated Japanese television series, not as the western conqueror who spread Hellenistic values through Asia, but as a figure of destruction and renewal.
