It's a book and heart because we love books

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since we've posted about the book series we run for Routledge. The series is entitled  'Routledge Studies in Surveillance'. It is still publishing manuscripts and we have a number of works in progress.

We'd like to take this opportunity to remind you about the series. It's important to us that new, exciting, book-length scholarship about surveillance in all its forms has an outlet. Information about the series can be found here.
