To our customers, authors, colleagues, and friends: By the time you see this new catalog, we will have something else to show you: a fully revamped and enhanced web site! Please visit www.tamu.edu/upress and explore all its new features. We will welcome your comments and suggestions on this and other technological developments in which we are currently investing to serve all of our constituencies better. Texas A&M University Press has recently concluded a new series agreement with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and AgriLife Research for a line of sponsored books related to their primary mission. We expect that this newly forged connection will greatly complement and expand our publications and outreach in these fields. Look for the first offerings in this series in 2010.

We are also pleased to announce that the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded a significant planning grant to Texas A&M and five other university presses (Colorado, Florida, Alabama, Arizona, and Utah) to collaboratively develop a digital publishing initiative in the field of the Archaeology of the Americas. This grant will make it possible for us jointly to explore ways to deliver data- and illustration-rich digital editions of cutting-edge archaeological research that could not be fully accommodated in conventionally published volumes. We are excited to contemplate how this collaborative, multi-disciplinary endeavor will affect our press’s future offerings in archaeology and physical anthropology and further develop our established partnerships with Texas A&M’s Center for the Study of the First Americans, Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation, and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology. As the following pages of this catalog will attest, Texas A&M Press and our Consortium partners are moving forward creatively in the new era of scholarly publishing. Charles Backus Edward R.
