There is no shortage of new and forthcoming titles, as the book exhibit at the American Anthropological Association meeting in Chicago this past week proved.  Some of these are already in the Somatosphere hopper, and others will be shortly.  Drop us a line (eg1421@wayne.edu) if you’d like to review a book or if you have a title to suggest.  We welcome new contributors!
