New Books Added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in November!


We are adding many new items to the collection each month, and making sure that you can see them on display! Watch for our upcoming scary movie DVD display, as well as our ongoing New Books shelves (as shown above). See our new materials list of items we added to the collection in November! We added 175 books, e-books, DVDs, and other items during that time, thanks to your selections and suggestions. The list can be sorted by call number, area of our collection, or by title.

Here are eight titles from the list, to give you an idea of what we've been buying: 

  • When women ruled the world : six queens of Egypt / Kara Cooney
  • Anatomy of victory : why the United States triumphed in World War II, fought to a stalemate in Korea, lost in Vietnam, and failed in Iraq / John D. Caldwell
  • The job : work and its future in a time of radical change / Ellen Ruppel Shell
  • Race on campus : debunking myths with data / Julie J. Park
  • Stripped bare : the art of animal anatomy / David Bainbridge
  • In extremis : the life and death of the war correspondent Marie Colvin / Lindsey Hilsum
  • The electric state / Simon StÃ¥lenhag
  • The medical marijuana guide : cannabis and your health / by Patricia C. Frye with Dave Smitherman
This tag will show you all of the prior lists of new materials, in reverse chronological order. We are eager to hear from you about individual items you would like us to buy, or types of items we should be on the lookout for, or general subject areas we should build up in the collection.

If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Amy Carmichael (carmicae@miamioh.edu), or drop by the library with your request. And pass your general suggestions or comments about the collection to us in those same ways.

Thanks again for keeping our collection vibrant and your information needs met!
