New Titles for Professionals — 29 July–7 August 2026

Published 7 August 2026 · Law · Economics & Finance · Energy · Medicine

This edition covers four new academic and professional titles added between 29 July and 7 August 2026, one in each of Law, Economics & Finance, Energy and Medicine — and all four examine the same shift from a different angle: artificial intelligence moving from a research topic to working infrastructure in courts, markets, labs and grids. CLNZ Books is a specialist academic bookseller based in Auckland, New Zealand, supplying university libraries, law firms, research centres and individual professionals worldwide. Every price includes worldwide shipping via trusted international courier.

A note from the bookseller

Four titles, four collections, one thread: artificial intelligence has stopped being a chapter and become the spine. A court adopting AI evidence tools, an economist tracing who captures the value it creates, a drug-discovery lab using it to cut years off a pipeline, a grid operator forecasting renewables with it — none of these are the same story, but none of them make sense without it either. That is worth noticing without dressing it up.
