Martha Nussbaum’s capabilities approach to questions of justice and political philosophy is

Power and Culture<\/em> was the first book that revealed to me the value of using class analysis
\nto explain the American experience. The book provided a name, a concept and a framework for
\nunderstanding how working-class identity is lived out. Herbert Gutman pioneered the study of
\neveryday existence as a way to explain what it meant to be working class. His approach became a way
\nfor me to better understand my own heritage.<\/p>\n

\nTheory of Value<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Gerard Debreu<\/p>\n

Gerard Debreu’s
\nTheory of Value<\/em> stands as perhaps the foremost example of the elegance and clarity with
\nwhich economics can describe human interaction. I first encountered this book in my third year at
\nthe University of Chicago. Even though I had never met the man, in a real sense, it was Debreu who
\npersuaded me that I should pursue a research career in theoretical economics. Today,
\nTheory of Value<\/em> still reminds me that it is important that we approach theoretical
\nresearch, at least in part, as craft. A beautiful and well conceived model will almost always lead
\nto significantly greater understanding. I would certainly not compare my own poor craft to
\nDebreu’s, but I am grateful that master craftsmen exist in our profession to set a standard that we
\nall might aspire to achieve.<\/p>\n

Although the 1600

\ncase that it represents what Shakespeare’s acting company actually performed. Veritably all printed
\ntexts of this famous history play are based on the folio text of 1623, but the editor Andrew Gurr
\nshows that those of us interested in drama as a performed art also need to study (and perform) the

\nPlainsong: A Fable for the Millenium<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s one of my favorite books ever. It has elements of myth, fantasy, and politics, religion,

\nequally intelligent and ultimately tantalizingly complex. This book challenges our assumptions and

\nAASL: Origins and Development of a National Professional Association for School Librarians,

\n<\/em> University of Chicago, 1982<\/p>\n

I selected this text because of its role as a scholarly resource and personal inspiration in the
\nwriting of my own dissertation (The Strength of the Inconspicuous: Youth Services Librarians, the American Library Association,
\nand Intellectual Freedom for the Young, 1939-1955<\/em>). Pond’s meticulous scholarship and skillful
\ninterweaving of the many stories that comprise the history of school librarianship led me to
\nprimary source documents and publications that I would not have otherwise known existed, and gave
\nme a sense of both the complex and intriguing history of youth services librarianship and of my own
\nrole as a historian of the profession. Writing a dissertation is a lonely process, but Pond’s work
\nwas pivotal in making me continually aware of the invisible audience of future scholars and
\ncolleagues for whom I was writing. Thank you, Patricia Pond.<\/p>\n

\nTo Steal a Book is an Elegant Offense<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

William P. Alford<\/p>\n

This title, of course, was a great temptation, in a rather irreverent way, when the task at hand
\nwas selecting a book for a library display. But instead of promoting the theft of good literature,
\nthis insightful work of non-fiction explains one aspect of a paradox that has become de rigueur to
\nignore in much contemporary scholarship: different societies and cultures often view and value the
\nsame event in dramatically different ways. In this case, the different societies are traditional
\nChina and the Western world; the same event is the take and copying of the intellectual property of
\nan author, the difference in views and values is that the taking is perceived as a compliment to
\nthe author in one society, as a theft from the author in the other. My summary simplifies important
\nnuances and issues that Professor Alford’s superb book does not. I value this book because it
\nserves as an important reminder that the rules and ideas expressed by law often are as value-laden
\nand parochial as they are universal.<\/p>\n

I first read this book as an MBA student and returned to it again during my subsequent

\nstimulated. I often think that I embarked upon my doctoral studies to attempt to answer the
\nimportant questions it raised. I have built my research expertise by investigating these questions
\nand the related questions that arose (and continue to arise) during these investigations. Thus, the
\nbook could be said to represent the foundation of my academic career.<\/p>\n

\nEssays on Music and Culture<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Treasury of Petrus Alamire<\/p>\n

I have found that sacred music from the early Renaissance provides some of the most useful
\nexamples of choral repertoire that is artistically compelling to the performer and listener. Over
\nthe past five years, I have collaborated with Professor Emeritus Herbert Kellman and Ensemble
\nChoragos to perform works from the Alamire complex of music manuscripts at professional conferences
\nand concerts in Europe, Canada, and the United States. That work has allowed me to discover new
\ncompositions and to participate in particularly gratifying choral performances. The personal
\nsatisfaction of those experiences has been deepened by the awareness that those students who
\nparticipated with me have been granted performance opportunities that will provide a benchmark of
\nexcellence for their entire musical careers. These two books document the importance of Professor
\nKellman’s scholarship, and my choice of them registers my thanks for his collaboration with the
\nwork of Ensemble Choragos.<\/p>\n

\nThe Fountainhead<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Ayn Rand<\/p>\n

To me, this book is about maintaining integrity in one’s work, about living up to your own
\nstandards of excellence in the face of pressure to conform to something less. It addresses some
\nthorny issues. What compromises does one owe to one’s community? Where does integrity end and
\nself-centered-ness begin?<\/p>\n

\nThe Social Life of Information<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid<\/p>\n

John Seely Brown edited a classic text on intelligent tutoring systems that influenced my
\nundergraduate final year project and then my doctoral research. As my research interests have moved
\ntoward the interaction between people, computer systems, information, and the social context that
\nall this happens in, I find that yet again he is there asking important questions. This very
\naccessible book examines the crucial problems of how can we design computer systems so that they
\ncan cope with the messiness and complexity of real life, and what we can learn from how people cope
\nwith these problems by social interaction. The book illustrates that it is possible to ask
\nimportant questions, to gain new insights into how the world works and how to design better
\nsystems, and yet still explain these findings in an accessible way to a wide audience.<\/p>\n

\nTransgenic Animals in Agriculture<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

J. D. Murrary, G. B. Anderson, A. M. Oberbauer, M. M. McGloughlin (Editors)<\/p>\n

This book is a compilation of recent research involving the use of transgenic technology to
\nimprove animal agriculture. This is an area in which I have been involved for many years and which
\nhas been important in the development of my academic career here at the University of Illinois.<\/p>\n
