TRANSPACIFIC, UNDISCIPLINED, a new volume edited by Lily Wong, Christopher B. Patterson, and Chien-ting Lin, remaps the scope and methods of the transpacific approach. Learn more: ow.ly/WWcG50TBuwt

The cover of the book "Transpacific Undisciplined," edited by Lily Wong, Christopher B. Patterson, and Chien-ting Lin, features a vibrant, colorful design. The central image is a symmetrical, abstract face framed by flowing, organic shapes. Fish and aquatic elements are also present, swimming through a bright, swirling background with shades of blue, yellow, pink, and green. The title "Transpacific" is written in large white letters across the top, while "Undisciplined" is placed below in a darker blue font. The bottom of the cover lists the editors' names in white text against a blue background.
