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


We add many new items to the collection each month, and we hope you'll check some out (even if you can't study under the stairs like they did in the 1970s)! Take a look at our New Books shelves or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in February! We added 149 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 loop : how technology is creating a world without choices and how to fight back / Jacob Ward
  • The genesis machine : our quest to rewrite life in the age of synthetic biology / Amy Webb and Andrew Hessel
  • Origin : a genetic history of the Americas / Jennifer Raff
  • Impact of electric cars : understanding propulsion
  • Index, a history of the : a bookish adventure from medieval manuscripts to the digital age / Dennis Duncan
  • The future of black : Afrofuturism, black comics, and superhero poetry / edited by Len Lawson, Cynthia Manick, and Gary Jackson
  • Recitatif : a story / Toni Morrison   with an introduction by Zadie Smith
  • The subplot : what China is reading and why it matters / Megan Walsh
  • The rage of innocence : how America criminalizes Black youth / Kristin Henning
  • Worn : a people's history of clothing / Sofi Thanhauser
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.

If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Alan Kelley (kelleya@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!
