As environmental crises reshape how we teach and think about culture, Professor Shuqin Cui’s "Ecological and Environmental Turns: (Re)mapping China’s Sociocultural Landscape through Ecocinema" offers a timely and critical framework for rethinking the intersections of film, environment, and society.

To support instructors in bringing these insights into the classroom, Professor Cui has developed a ready-to-use syllabus that bridges film studies and the environmental humanities. By integrating this book and syllabus, professors can guide students in examining how cinema reflects and reimagines humanity’s evolving relationship with the natural world—an approach that is both intellectually rigorous and urgently relevant in today’s global context.

Watch this quick video of sample discussion questions.

"An excellent way to get students thinking about how cross-cultural contact changes over time is to read what travelers wrote in different eras. Anthony Barbieri-Low makes this easy for instructors by pairing accounts from travelers moving in opposite directions across Eurasia, to and from China. The book’s illustrations and maps further enrich comparison and should spark lively discussion." —Patricia Ebrey, University of Washington https://www.cambriapress.com/ParallelJourneys

For over a century, Carl von Clausewitz’s "On War" has been revered as the foundational text of modern strategy. Yet, few have actually read it, and even fewer have understood it. Myths about Clausewitz—such as the tale of Abraham Lincoln drawing inspiration from "On War"—have eclipsed the reality of his life and the depth of his ideas.

This book sets the record straight. Rather than celebrating Clausewitz as a war-mongering Prussian prophet or dismissing him as obsolete, it restores his work by placing it in historical context and making it accessible to modern readers. https://www.cambriapress.com/RestoringClausewitz
