Scholarly publishers face an existential question: Why, in article-driven fi elds such as economics and the sciences, are books needed? The fall 2015 Princeton University Press catalog shouts the answer, in the form of a splendid array of books that will be indispensable to the public conversation on the economy and dozens of other important subjects.

Nobel laureates George Akerlof and Robert Shiller open the of-ferings with Phishing for Phools: The Economics of Manipulation and Deception, in which they argue that the free market inevita-bly hurts as well as helps us. Robert Gordon’s eagerly anticipated The Rise and Fall of American Growth warns that the high U.S. standard of living may not last, and Adair Turner traces the roots of the global fi nancial crisis in Between Debt and the Devil. And the economic discussion isn’t limited to economists. In his book On Inequality, philosopher Harry Frankfurt—the author of our #1 New York Times bestseller On Bullshit—shifts our attention from the rich to the plight of the poor.

Moving on from economics and inequality, we present a striking range of other remarkable works, including celebrated food sci-entist Louise Fresco’s Hamburgers in Paradise: The Stories behind the Food We Eat; distinguished historian Thomas Laqueur’s The Work of the Dead: A Cultural History of Mortal Remains; eminent architectural historian Neil Levine’s The Urbanism of Frank Lloyd Wright; and the inventively cross-disciplinary scholar Lynn Gamwell’s Mathematics and Art: A Cultural History.

As always, science plays a central role on the Princeton list, and we have especially strong entries this season in physics, includ-ing The Quotable Feynman (edited by Richard P. Feynman’s daughter, Michelle) and J. Richard Gott’s The Cosmic Web: Myste-rious Architecture of the Universe.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the dedica-tion of our authors, staff , partners, advisers, editorial board, and trustees. A hearty thanks to them all.
