Atkins’ Digital Publishing Services has published a new book, Subcritical: Third Culture Field Notes. Subcritical explores an innovative, interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and artists. Based on a project funded by the National Science Foundation that studies how climate change influences the breakdown of rocks and the cracking of mountains, Subcritical integrates the arts with scientific research to communicate findings. Subcritical brings together scholarly and theoretical essays as well as richly illustrated artwork and case studies of design investigations. This novel work represents the type of multidisciplinary synergies possible when artists and scientists collaborate with each other.
Subcritical is edited by Martha Cary (Missy) Eppes, Marek Ranis, and José L. S. Gámez. Essays are contributed by Martha Cary Eppes, José L. S. Gámez, Ken Lambla, Brook Muller, Marek Ranis, Monica Rasmussen, and Melissa Riker.
Subcritical: Third Culture Field Notes is available as an open access ebook and in paperback through UNC Press.
