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

 

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 April 2021! We added 163 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: 

  • Reopening Muslim minds : a return to reason, freedom, and tolerance / Mustafa Akyol
  • The ravine : a family, a photograph, a Holocaust massacre revealed / Wendy Lower
  • Management as a calling : leading business, serving society / Andrew J. Hoffman
  • Breaking the social media prism : how to make our platforms less polarizing / Chris Bail
  • Beyond the gender binary / Alok Vaid-Menon
  • Why the innocent plead guilty and the guilty go free : and other paradoxes of our broken legal system / Jed S. Rakoff
  • Out of many, one : portraits of America's immigrants / George W. Bush
  • Atlas of AI : power, politics, and the planetary costs of artificial intelligence / Kate Crawford
  • The man who lived underground : a novel / Richard Wright
  • Good talk : a memoir in conversations / Mira Jacob

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!
