Enduring Editions at UNC Press

UNC Press is launching a new series, Enduring Editions, to bring back into print many titles not currently available. More information is available at the press' blog and website. A list of projected titles can be downloaded here.

Duke University Press has made much of its backlist available electronically, as the e-Duke Books Scholarly Collection, which those affiliated with UNC can access via the UNC online catalog. The collection is described in a press release.

Both presses have published a number of titles on health-related topics; for example, UNC's series, Studies in Social Medicine, and other medical books, and Duke's books on medicine and medical humanities, as well as a few medical journals.
