The wheels of academic presses grind slow but fine, but I’m very pleased to announce that the newly revised and expanded edition of Field of Schemes is scheduled for release by University of Nebraska Press/Bison Books on April 1. (Pre-ordering will begin a few weeks before that, from the publisher’s website. This edition is the culmination of more than a decade of research, with four all-new chapters covering the latest stadium shenanigans in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere, plus annotations updating the book’s original chapters to the present day.

In other words, please buy early, and buy often. If nothing else, the added heft will make the book a fine projectile for hurling at your favorite local stadium apologist.
