We are pleased to announce the grand opening of MIT Press's e-books store, where you can browse and purchase full-text, online access to recent MIT Press titles. The e-books sold on this site are fully searchable and can be stored on your personal digital bookshelf. New titles are added to this store on a regular basis; just look for the e-book widgets on our home site to preview our selection, or head right to the store at mitpress-ebooks.mit.edu.

MIT Press, in cooperation with The Monterey Institute for Technology and Education (MITE), is pleased to announce the publication of the first issue of The International Journal of Learning and Media (IJLM). A first of its kind, the journal is devoted to examining the intersection of media and learning in multiple contexts. Volume 1, Issue 1, edited by David Buckingham, Tara McPherson and Katie Salen, is now available for FREE at http://ijlm.net. While IJLM retains the peer-review process of a traditional scholarly journal, its editorial vision and electronic-only format permit more topical and polemic writing, visual and multimedia presentations, and online dialogues. IJLM will allow the broad community interested in digital media and learning to share its insights using the tools of digital media. Sections of the journal range from shorter pieces on critical issues of a timely nature, through longer essays on keywords shaping the landscape of learning and media today, to traditional peer-reviewed scholarly articles.

http://ijlm.net is currently in its beta stage and we welcome your comments, questions and thoughts on how to improve the site. Please contact us by clicking on the Feedback button in the upper right corner at http://ijlm.net.

The development and publication of IJLM is supported by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation as part of its 5-year, $50 million, initiative in digital media and learning.

The MIT Press Publicists loving rejection...

There is a word that publicists love almost as much as "yes." And it's "no."Seems counterintuitive, right? But it's true. There is little I love more than a solid "no."

Yes, the MIT bookstore, all books on unique subjects published by the MIT Press I believe. The Harvard Coop is also a fine bookstore for rare to find subjects.

An article by David Cole from The New York Review of Books, November 19, 2009

This is a decent article, but nowhere does Mr. Cole mention the horrific problem of the prison system as the largest mental institution (and this based on initial mental health status, not mental illness as the result of incarceration). I also find it shocking that the private prison industry and its political power, partly responsible for making the criminal code much more punitive for the sake of industry "growth," completely escape his attention.
