New books (and more) added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in November!

If you've been thinking about reading a book, we have many new ones (plus a lot of older ones) ready to go!

Take a look at our New Books shelves or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection during November 2020! We added 147 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.  There is definitely something here for everyone!

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

  • The boundless sea : a human history of the oceans / David Abulafia
  • The nine lives of Pakistan : dispatches from a precarious state / Declan Walsh
  • Leave only footprints : my Acadia-to-Zion journey through every national park / Conor Knighton
  • The kidnapping club : Wall Street, slavery, and resistance on the eve of the Civil War / Jonathan Daniel Wells
  • 57 scientifically-proven survival foods to stockpile : How to maximize your health with everyday shelf-stable grocery store foods, bulk foods, and superfoods / Damian Brindle
  • Culture warlords : my journey into the dark web of white supremacy / Talia Lavin
  • Lean semesters : how higher education reproduces inequity / Sekile M. Nzinga
  • Uncanny bodies : superhero comics and disability / edited by Scott T. Smith and José Alaniz
  • Sea wife / Amity Gaige
  • The alignment problem : machine learning and human values / Brian Christian

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 look out for, or general subject areas we should build up in the collection.

Thank you for all of your suggestions and requests!  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!
