May–June 2010 new release highlights from Inbooks

The Internet: an introduction to new media
	Author/Editor: Lelia Green ISBN: 9781847882998 Publisher: Berg Publishers Subject: Media & Communications Description: Technology has historically been shaped by governmental, military and commercial needs, but the development of the internet is increasingly driven by its users. Packed with case studies drawn from around the world, The Internet presents an up-to-date introduction to the social, cultural, technological and political worlds this new media form is creating. Lelia Green is based at Edith Cowan University.
Pope and Devil: the Vatican's archives and the Third Reich
	Author/Editor: Hubert Wolf ISBN: 9780674050815 Publisher: Harvard University Press Subject: History Description: The Vatican’s dealings with the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich have long been swathed in speculation. After almost 70 years, the crucial records for the years leading up to 1939 were finally opened to the public and in this book Wolf reveals the thinking of the popes, cardinals, and bishops who saw themselves in a historic struggle against evil.
Great collectors of our time: art collecting since 1945
	Author/Editor: James Stourton ISBN: 9781857595147 Publisher: Scala Publishers Subject: Art Description: A major survey of contemporary collecting and collectors, guiding us around astonishing collections and exploring the motivation behind them. Stourton explores collecting dynasties such as the Gettys and Mellons; and key figures such as Peggy Guggenheim, Yves Saint Laurent, Picasso, and Charles Saatchi.
Absence of mind: the dispelling of inwardness from the modern myth of self
	Author/Editor: Marilynne Robinson ISBN: 9780300145182 Publisher: Yale University Press Subject: Religion / Philosophy Description: In this book, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Marilynne Robinson applies her intellect to some of the most vexing topics in the history of human thought: science, religion, and consciousness. Absence of Mind challenges postmodern atheists who crusade against religion under the banner of science. In Robinson’s view, scientific reasoning does not denote a sense of logical infallibility, as thinkers like Richard Dawkins might suggest. Instead, in its purest form, science represents a search for answers. It engages the problem of knowledge, an aspect of the mystery of consciousness, rather than providing a simple and final model of reality.
Adventures among ants: a global safari with a cast of trillions
	Author/Editor: Mark W. Moffett ISBN: 9780520261990 Publisher: University of California Press Subject: Natural History Description: Intrepid international explorer, biologist and photographer Mark W. Moffett takes us around the globe on a strange and colourful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviours.
The image of the world
	Author/Editor: Peter Whitfield ISBN: 9780712350891 Publisher: British Library Publishing Subject: History / Geography Description: From the classic Greek origins of the world map, through the elaborately decorated manuscript maps and printed maps of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries—which are works of art in themselves—to modern scientific maps showing the ocean floor, Peter Whitfield examines the history of world mapmaking through 70 outstanding individual examples. He discusses each map in relation to the religious, political, social or economic climates in which they were produced and considers what these maps reveal about the perceptions of their makers.
