Introducing the Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks

This next-generation publishing program from Macmillan introduces undergraduates to subjects in an innovative way---taking an interdisciplinary approach to three important fields of study: religion, philosophy, and gender. With these subjects explored through the lenses of film, literature, art, science, and other disciplines, the Handbooks engage the reader and bring greater clarity and understanding.

Each Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks series will consist of 10 volumes (available individually or as a set), with the first subject serving as a “primer,” giving readers an overview of the ideas explored throughout the series. Upcoming titles and titles available for purchase include:
