Harley Parker’s contribution to the fields of museum studies, sensory studies, and communication studies was prophetic, as it turns out, and this biography, by Gary Genosko, is his vindication.

The cover of Half-Light: Westbound on a Hot Planet, by Amy Kaler. It's a depiction of a highway running between snowy fields, with some fir trees visible. Most of the cover is the sky--it starts red on the horizon and fades to deep blue as it travels up the cover
