New series to support General Education

We've recently started standing orders to series of books that make connections between various disciplines written for students in late high school grades and early undergraduates. One such series is Social Issues in Literature from Greenhaven Press. The series is designed to help "students navigate the intersection between literature and sociology [and support] cross-curricular studies of the world's enduring masterworks." (publisher's website) A new title comes out every two months. So far we've received titles on The Scarlet Letter, Malcolm X, The Joy Luck Club and more.
