Beyond the Lab and the Field analyzes infrastructures as intense sites of knowledge production in the Americas, Europe, and Asia since the late nineteenth century. Moving beyond classical places known for yielding scientific knowledge, chapters in this volume explore how the construction and maintenance of canals, highways, dams, irrigation schemes, the oil industry, and logistic networks intersected with the creation of know-how and expertise. Referred to by the authors as “scientific bonanzas,” such intersections reveal opportunities for great wealth, but also distress and misfortune. This volume explores how innovative technologies provided research opportunities for scientists and engineers, as they relied on expertise to operate, which resulted in enormous profits for some. But, like the history of any gold rush, the history of infrastructure also reveals how technologies of modernity transformed nature, disrupting communities and destroying the local environment. Focusing not on the victory march of science and technology but on ambivalent change, contributors consider the role of infrastructures for ecology, geology, archaeology, soil science, engineering, ethnography, heritage, and polar exploration. Together, they also examine largely overlooked perspectives on modernity: the reliance of infrastructure on knowledge, and infrastructures as places and occasions that inspired a greater understanding of the natural world and the technologically made environment.

Born to a poor, landless farmer in the month of the monsoon rains, twins Zara and Tara grow up amongst the fields of wheat and cotton in a remote village in Pakistan. During an afternoon spree of games, Tara is kidnapped from the fields and raped. All seems to be resolved after her parents accept an unexpected marriage proposal for their “dishonoured” daughter. But the nightmare resurfaces when a newspaper clipping emerges, calling the union into question. Determined to rescue her twin, Zara embarks on a harrowing quest for justice, battling keepers of a culture that upholds propriety above all else and braving the unknown dangers of an urban centre. Set in the early 1980s against the backdrop of martial law and social turmoil, Beyond the Fields is a riveting, timely look at profound inequality, traditions that disempower women in our world, and survival as a dance to the beat of a different future.

For the past century, an overwhelming majority of underprivileged minority kids living in urban and rural communities across America have looked to sports - rather than edcuation- as their way out. Despite the reality that degrees are infinitely more attainable than professional athletic contracts, many parents continue to place bets on their child becoming the next Lebron James. This dynamic has fostered a culture that encourages young African American students to prioritize athletics over schoolwork. Millions of our children grow up to become young adults that lack critical knowledge and fundamental skills that other children behold. As a result, our young adults can run a 40-yard dash, but they cannot balance a checkbook, exercise appropriate dinner etiquette, or successfully interview for a job. We have taught them how to succeed on the field, while forgetting to share a roadmap of how to succeed of the field. "Beyond The Field" is the beginning of that off the field roadmap. This first volume will teach students of all academic levels key skills which include: how to become financially literate, succeed in school and the workplace, and use the right processes in order to make sound decisions.
