\nEinstein’s Dreams<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Alan Lightman<\/p>\n

It is the book that most moved me during my time at UIUC. Here is a book that takes an
\nincredibly difficult topic\u2014the nature of time and how Einstein might have conceived of it\u2014a nd
\ncreates a beautifully written journey through the various possibilities. The journey is basically a
\nseries of variations on a theme, as beautifully crafted as any by Bach or Rachmaninoff, that
\nilluminate as well as they entertain. Those of us who are simultaneously scientists and educators
\nall aspire to be able to do exactly that; never have I seen it done better.<\/p>\n

Emily Dickinson is the greatest poet in U. S. History, though she was unpublished during her

The summer that I began my graduate study was one of particular stress. Packing up a family,

\nwas taking its toll on me. Shortly after arriving and beginning study, I discovered this book, and

\nHandbook of Research on Teaching (4

V. Richardson<\/p>\n

This extensive volume captures and synthesizes the most significant research that has been
\ncompleted within the field of education. It is the first time in nearly three decades that chapters
\nhave been devoted to the specific subject matter areas that encompass all realms of educational
\nresearch. The text is personally meaningful because I had the honor of being invited to write the
\nchapter that reviewed the current research on physical education. It is a celebration of the
\naccomplishments of many investigators and of how far the field has progressed within the past two
\ndecades.<\/p>\n

\nJim Leedy: Artist Across Boundaries<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Matthew Kangas<\/p>\n

I chose the Jim Leedy book for a number of reasons. For example, Jim is an interdisciplinary
\nartist who has been a prolific and significant contributor to the ceramic arts movement of the
\nlatter part of the 20th\u00a0century. He is a gifted teacher, lecturer, artist, gallery owner and
\npromoter of the ceramic arts. He has taught at the Kansas City Art Institute for approximately
\nthirty years. His influence is international, and his strength as an artist in his 70s is reaching
\na zenith. I also wanted to choose a book that was about a living artist. I had originally thought
\nabout
\nThe Grapes of Wrath<\/em>, my all-time favorite book, or a book about Jackson Pollock, my
\nall-time favorite artist, but I wanted something in my field, by someone who inspires me that is
\nstill active\/alive, and doing it\/living it.<\/p>\n

\nAll Creatures Great and Small<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

James Herriot<\/p>\n

This book was the first in a series of four autobiographical books written by James Herriot, a
\nBritish, nonfiction writer (pen name for James Alfred Wright). This book and the three volumes
\nwhich followed chronicled the daily life of a country veterinarian in rural Yorkshire at the
\nbeginning of World War II. The appeal of this book for me is its humorous blend of sadness and joy
\nused to describe family and occupational endeavors while continually celebrating the love of
\nlife.<\/p>\n

\nThe Theory of Island Biogeography<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson<\/p>\n

MacArthur and Wilson’s book on island biogeography was an inspiring read for me in the spring of
\n1974. Although I was working at the time on an archaeological problem that was far removed from the
\ntopic of this book, their approach was both enlightening and relevant. It made me view research
\nproblem formulation, the calculus and the interpretive value of approximate answers in a new light.
\nTo a certain extent, I am still profiting from and applying daily what I learned from reading it.
\nMost of the book reflects the brilliance of the principal author, Robert H. MacArthur, who died of
\nleukemia in his early 40s.<\/p>\n

\nMontaigne, Quelques Anciens et l’\u00e9criture des Essais<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

D. Coleman<\/p>\n

I chose Montaigne because he is the best representative of the flowering of French humanism
\nduring and after the religious wars in 16th\u00a0century Europe. He addressed the issues of
\npluralism, tolerance and the challenge of having individuals and groups with various mores and
\nopinions live together within the same society, all issues that are quite prominent in our world
\ntoday. I believe Montaigne, unlike many of his contemporaries, still speaks to many students
\nbecause of the very personal and engaging way in which he wrote his reflections on his own
\nexperience and on human nature. Montaigne stood on the threshold of modernity; his mediations on
\npolitics, the clash of cultures, the rise of individualism, the ambitions and limits of knowledge
\nand the complexities of the human experience remain an invaluable guide. His legacy is worth
\npreserving as an essential part of a liberal education.<\/p>\n

\nSingle-Channel Recording (second edition)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Ion channels are proteins found in all living cells. They open and close, enabling tiny
\nelectrical currents to flow into and out of cells. Sakmann and Neher won the 1991 Nobel Prize in
\nPhysiology or Medicine for the development of a technique which can record these tiny currents
\npassing through a single ion channel. The technique revolutionized the field and one part of my
\nwork is dedicated to extending this technique. Specifically, we are trying to measure not just
\nelectrical properties of single ion channels, but to measure shape changes within single ion
\nchannel as it passes the electrical currents.<\/p>\n

\nIndian Country, God’s Country: Native Americans and the National Parks<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Philip Burnham<\/p>\n

The national parks of the U.S. are traditionally viewed as some idealized and sacred landscape,
\nunsullied by humans, and isolated as “vignettes of primitive America.” The imprint of Native
\nAmericans is often minimized or completely erased to further the Anglo myth of pristinity. With
\nIndian Country, God’s Country<\/em>, Philip Burnham provides insight to the plurality of
\nmeanings represented by landscapes of the national parks and, in doing so, forces us to reconsider
\nthe meaning of our national parks within an historical context that recognizes Native American
\ncultures and their homeland.<\/p>\n

\nGeometric Measure Theory: A Beginner’s Guide<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Frank Morgan<\/p>\n

Geometric Measure Theory<\/em> is a beautiful framework for proving the existence of optimal
\ngeometries like least-area bubble clusters. Unfortunately, the standard reference on GMT, by its
\ninventor Federer, is unreadable. Frank Morgan’s wonderful book finally makes GMT accessible; the
\nthird edition incorporates late-breaking news on the latest results.<\/p>\n

\nCulture and Imperialism<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Edward W. Said<\/p>\n

I choose Edward Said’s
\nCulture and Imperialism<\/em>, a model of cultural and textual analysis. This book compels us to
\nrethink the problem of cultural representation. In it, Said continues his groundbreaking work\u2014begun
\nin
\nOrientalism<\/em>, the World, the Text, and the Critic, and the Question of Palestine\u2014impressing
\nupon intellectuals the need to represent the under-represented, to work for social change, and to
\nexpose the constraints inscribed in art, culture, and scholarship by authority and power.<\/p>\n

\nMajestic Lights<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Robert H. Eather<\/p>\n

This book describes the Aurora, a subject of my research, in science, history, and the arts.
\nI’ve been among the “privileged few to see the mystic luminaries of the arctic and antarctic skies.
\n\u2013 there is no doubt that the aurora is the most spectacular and awe-inspiring of nature’s
\nphenomena.” Bob Eather is a long-time friend and colleague.<\/p>\n

\nStructure of Scientific Revolutions<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Thomas Kuhn<\/p>\n

Numerous books, ranging from Edward Said’s
\nOrientalism<\/em> to the poetry of Mohammad Iqbal, would have qualified for this selection.
\nStructure of Scientific Revolutions<\/em> by Thomas Kuhn, however, holds the distinction of most
\ndramatically changing my perception of an exercise that I have been closely associated with
\n(process of scientific discovery) than any other.<\/p>\n

\nBarriers to Riches<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

S. Parente and E. C. Prescott<\/p>\n

This is an excellent book about an important problem: Why do some countries have very high
\nstandards of living while others do not? The book (i) proposes a clear and simple theory; and (ii)
\nshows how the theory can be used in examine competing hypotheses.<\/p>\n

\nMerce Cunningham: Fifty Years<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chronicle and Commentary by David Vaugh, Edited by Melissa Harris<\/p>\n

Merce Cunningham was my teacher for many years. His work has had a significant impact on me as
\nan artist and teacher. The work of Merce Cunningham has been at the forefront of change in
\ncontemporary dance all over the world. He is a revolutionary who has changed the way we see.<\/p>\n

\nSoil Landscape Analysis<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Francis D. Hole and James B. Campbell<\/p>\n

I selected this book in honor of Francis Hole who shared his heart and his mind with his
\nstudents. While an undergraduate at UW-Madison, I was lucky to have taken the last lecture course
\nhe taught; that course previewed the material contained in Soil Landscape Analysis. His life and
\nworks combined integrity, beauty and intellectual effort. His songs about soil formation weren’t
\nhalf-bad either.<\/p>\n

\nSpineless Wonders: Strange Tales from the Invertebrate World<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Richard Conniff<\/p>\n

Conniff does a wonderful job of making scientific information about insects and other
\ninvertebrates interesting and entertaining. It’s fun to read (and still very informative).<\/p>\n
