American Business, Politics, and Society (BPS)
Books in the series American Business, Politics, and Society explore the relationships over time between governmental institutions and the creation and performance of markets, firms, and industries large and small. The central theme of this series is that public policy—understood broadly to embrace not only lawmaking but also the structuring of institutions—has been fundamental to the evolution of American business from the colonial era to the present. The series editors are especially interested in publishing books that explore developments that have durable consequences.

Archaeology, Culture, & Society (ACS)
Research in archeology has expanded beyond narrow economic and environmental concerns to respond to and incorporate aspects of the debates on identity, meaning, and politics currently being explored in fields such as social anthropology, sociology, history, and so on.

List the volumes available in the ACS series.
The Arts and Intellectual Life in Modern America (AIL)
Volumes in the series explore the intersection of the history of expressive culture and the history of ideas in modern America. The series aims to challenge scholars in American studies and cultural studies to consider the ideas that have informed and given form to artistic expression--whether in architecture and the visual arts or music, dance, theater, and literature. The series also expands the domain of intellectual history by examining how artistic works, and aesthetic experience more generally, participate in the discussion of truth, value, civic purpose, and personal meaning.

This flexibility can be achieved through the use of narration, first person and multiple points of view, dialogue, descriptive imagery, and other literary techniques.

In addition, Divinations encourages scholarship that interrogates the very category of religion as applied to the late ancient Mediterranean world. List the volumes available in the DIV series.
