Publications
of the Wisconsin Center for Pushkin Studies
David M. Bethea and Alexander
Dolinin, series editors
Alexander Pushkin was Russia's
national poet, the founder of its modern literary language, an
innovator across a broad range of genres, and a figure whose
biography has generated intense interest and controversy in fields
and forms as different as literature, visual art, theater, film,
and music. This series publishes works of individual and joint
scholarship that feature aspects of Pushkin's creative world
and times. Various critical methodologies and approaches are
encouraged, the primary criterion for acceptance and publication
being the quality of the research, including its importance for
the field of Pushkin studies, and the compelling nature of the
guiding idea or argument.

Science
and Technology in Society
Series editors: Daniel
Lee Kleinman and Jo Handelsman
As we begin a new millennium,
science and technology are central features of the lives of people
worldwide. From in vitro fertilization to the Internet to bioterrrorism,
our lives are regularly touched by science and technology. This
series publishes innovative and provocative work that confronts
important concerns raised by the science—and technology—infused
environment in which we live. The editors are looking for manuscripts
aimed at scholarly or broader audiences in fields ranging from
philosophy and history to sociology and legal studies. We are
interested in publishing work using an array of research methods
and covering diverse topics. We expect to publish books by both
professional analysts of science and technology and practicing
scientists and engineers. The anchor for the series is an annual
edited volume that explores contemporary issues in science and
technology that demand public discussion.
