“New Books across the Disciplines” is a bibliographic resource that facilitates a cross-disciplinary survey of recent publications. Its scope ranges from late antiquity to the seventeenth century. Coverage is comprehensive for the large majority of North American and British publishers. Other European titles are included whenever received. Books are classified under variable topical headings and listed alphabetically by author's name. Entries include complete bibliographical data and annotations, including availability in hardcover, paperback, or ebook (OA is indicated for open access ebooks). For paperback reprint editions, original publication dates are given in parentheses. With some exceptions, books appearing here have been published within the previous two years.
