Rice University Press is pleased to announce the publication of “Version 0.8” of Ars Synthetica: Designs for Human Practice, by Paul Rabinow and Gaymon Bennett. This preliminary version of Ars Synthetica is appearing on our Connexions platform, where it will reside until March 2009, while the authors link to and invite comment about their work at On the Assembly of Things. All feedback employed in moving Ars Synthetica 0.8 to final form will be fully acknowledged and detailed.

Rice University Press has returned from a decade-long hiatus to explore new models of peer-reviewed scholarship for the 21st century. Our publications are viewable on line, for free, and available in printed-book form at reasonable cost. Editorially, we operate as a traditional university press does, subjecting submitted manuscripts to rigorous peer review, and thoroughly editing our books for publication; but our publishing and marketing operation is experimental and highly non-traditional. The latter circumstance allows us to evaluate manuscripts purely on their intellectual merit, without regard for production costs or potential market. Feel free to explore our site and learn about our revolutionary approach to academic publishing.
