New books and more added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in August!

The Gardner-Harvey Library New Media Display for DVDs.

We add many new items to the collection each month, and we hope you'll check some out. Take a look at our New Books shelves or the New Media Display (above) for some of the title, or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in August! 


We added 274 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: 
  • Algorithmic culture : how big data and artificial intelligence are transforming everyday life / edited by Stefka Hristova, Soonkwan Hong, and Jennifer Daryl Slack
  • Radical curiosity : questioning commonly held beliefs to imagine flourishing futures / Seth Goldenberg
  • All the living and the dead : from embalmers to executioners, an exploration of the people who have made death their life's work / Hayley Campbell
  • Red Valkyries : feminist lessons from five revolutionary women / Kristen R. Ghodsee
  • Laboratories against democracy : how national parties transformed state politics / Jacob M. Grumbach
  • Academic outsider : stories of exclusion and hope / Victoria Reyes
  • Wild life : the life and work of Charley Harper / text and introduction by Margaret Rhodes
  • The backstreets : a novel from Xinjiang / Perhat Tursun   translated by Darren Byler and Anonymous
  • The last white man / Mohsin Hamid
  • Endless forms : the secret world of wasps / Seirian Sumner
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. 

We're still at the beginning our fiscal year for 2022/23, and we have acquisitions funds aplenty.  We look forward to your suggestions of items to add to the collection.
