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

 

Women's History Month book display at the Gardner-Harvey Library


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 to help guide you to titles, or at our selection of James Willis' books (who will tell us all about weird Ohio travel destinations on the night of March 8) or our Women's History Month display. You may also skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in February!  

We added 127 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: 

  • Tripping on utopia : Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the troubled birth of psychedelic science / Benjamin Breen
  • Radical reparations : healing the soul of a nation / Marcus Anthony Hunter
  • All in her head : the truth and lies early medicine taught us about women's bodies and why it matters today / Elizabeth Comen, MD
  • The beast within : humans as animals / Jessica Serra   translated by Alison Duncan"
  • Splinters : another kind of love story / Leslie Jamison
  • Colleges on the brink : the case for financial exigency / Charles M. Ambrose, Michael T. Nietzel
  • Who owns this sentence? : a history of copyrights and wrongs / David Bellos, Alexandre Montagu

  • Disillusioned : five families and the unraveling of America's suburbs / Benjamin Herold   epilogue by Bethany Smith
  • The freaks came out to write : the definitive history of the Village Voice, the radical paper that changed American culture / Tricia Romano
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. 

If you know some titles we should add, we have acquisitions funds available.  We look forward to your suggestions of items to add to the collection!
