Clarity, Cut, and Culture
The Many Meanings of Diamonds
Things become meaningful through our interactions with them, but how do people go about making meaning? What can we learn from an ethnography about the production of identity, creation of kinship, and use of diamonds in understanding selves and social relationships? This book deals with these questions.

An Alternative History of Bicycles and Motorcycles
Two-Wheeled Transportation and Material Culture
This book challenges the common evolutionary model of development from the bicycle to the motorcycle. It examines the bicycle and motorcycle as material objects and focuses on the complex socio-political and economic convergences that produced the materials, which in turn shaped the vehicles' appearance, function, and adoption by riders.
