\nThe History of Cartography, Vol. II, Bk. III, Cartography in the Traditional African,
\nAmerican, Arctic, Australian, and Pacific Societies<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

D. Woodward and G. M. Lewis (Eds.)<\/p>\n

This book is a significant contribution to knowledge in two fundamental ways. It is the first
\ncomprehensive treatment of indigenous maps and mapmaking\u2014a topic that has been largely neglected by
\ngeographers and historians of cartography who focus almost exclusively on “Western” maps. Second,
\nthis work expands the definition of a map to include spatial representations found in dances,
\nsongs, gestures, scarification, sculpture, pottery, textiles, and tattoos. These understudied
\nmappings tell us much about the secular, spiritual, and spatial worldviews of indigenous
\npeoples.<\/p>\n

Robert E. Hungate<\/p>\n

I encountered this book by chance while browsing in the bookstacks of the D. H. Hill Library
\nwhen I was a sophomore majoring in pre-med at N. C. State University. I was overwhelmingly
\nintrigued with the complexity of the intestinal microbial ecosystem described in the book. This led
\nme to find a laboratory on campus that was conducting research on a related topic. So began my
\nresearch career. I never considered applying to medical school and am conducting research in a
\nrelated area now, 25 years later. In addition, our laboratory is now housed in the space formerly
\noccupied by Professor Marvin Bryant, who was elected to the National Academy of Sciences while a
\nUIUC faculty member. Professor Bryant began his career as a dishwasher in Professor Hungate’s
\nlaboratory in the state of Washington. I met Professor Hungate when he attended the symposium held
\nat UIUC in honor of Professor Bryant’s career. Professor Hungate was 90 years old at the time, and
\nhe resides now in Davis, CA.<\/p>\n

\nSamuel Johnson: Rasselas, Poems, and Selected Prose<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bertrand H. Bronson (Ed.)<\/p>\n

As an undergraduate at SUNY at Buffalo in the \u201870s, I was introduced to exciting new ways of
\nthinking about film, literature, and culture. In reading feminist analyses of gender,
\npsychoanalytic theories on literature and film, and ethnic and racial revisions of history, I
\nlearned innovative, politically astute methods of apprehending culture and cultural artifacts. I
\nwas deeply enamored with my own critical sophistication. My reading of Dr. Johnson in an
\nintroductory English course revealed a past that I had dismissed as hopelessly old-fashioned and
\nunselfconscious. Dr. Johnson possessed a capacious intelligence, sad, sometimes dark, always
\nengaged. He faced hard truths head on, reporting them with a rigor that was somehow kind, in
\nperfectly rounded sentences that seemed to make each observation an aphorism. This book began my
\nlove affair with his writings and his century. His thoughts tempered mine. Through him, I came to a
\nfar better understanding of the uses and significance of the later theories. His evaluation of my
\noccupation has helped me more than once to deflate any inclinations toward pomposity and
\npretension: “every man can exert such judgment as he has upon the works of others; and he whom
\nNature has made weak, and Idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of
\nCritick.”<\/p>\n

\nGeographies of Latinidad<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

M. Garcia, a. Valdivia and M. C. Ledger (Eds.)<\/p>\n

Geographies of Latinidad<\/em> represents my journey and the journey of Latina-Latino Studies at
\nthe University of Illinois. The book grew out of an informal reading group for Latina-Latino
\nStudies faculty and later a graduate seminar and national conference developed jointly by faculty
\nand sponsored by the Center for Advanced Study in which interdisciplinary perspectives were brought
\nto bear on topics such as gender, race, class, identity, and education. Although only a portion of
\nthe participants of that seminar and conference contributed chapters to the book, the spirit of all
\nof us from that first reading group (many who were at the time assistant professors) is grounded in
\nthis book. In this sense,
\nGeographies of Latinidad<\/em> stands for not just me and where I see my research moving, but
\nfor the journey taken by my “familia” in Latina\/Latino Studies. I am proud to have a chapter in a
\nbook with good friends and respected colleagues such as Angharad Valdivia, Alejandro Lugo, and matt
\nGarcia as well as leading scholars in Latina\/o Studies such as Gloria Anzaldua, Ian Haney Lopez,
\nand Frances Aparicio. It represents all of the bonds I have and help I have received in terms of
\ngetting tenure, but also the crossroads in helping me move beyond a traditional\/conservative
\nresearch perspective in mathematics education for which I was trained and to which I belong, into a
\nmore interdisciplinary and global perspective on the ways in which mathematics and democracy
\nrelate.<\/p>\n

Marion Mangnon and Marion Tenbusch (Eds.)<\/p>\n

In my teaching and research, I am interested in the relationship between medieval art and lived
\nexperience. This exhibition is a wonderful example of this type of exploration. It juxtaposed
\nobjects that ranged from high culture (for example, illuminated manuscripts or panel paintings) to
\nlow (for example, watering cans), and through careful consideration successfully revealed how an
\nunderstanding of the physical experience of medieval gardens helps clarify our visual, literary, or
\nallegorical experience of them in the arts.<\/p>\n

\nThe Story of the Group of Seven<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Lawren Harris<\/p>\n

I wanted to choose a book that related to my academic or personal interests, and yet was not
\nlikely to go out of date. Moreover, I wanted something that would be new to UIUC. As my academic
\ninterests are in information technology, not only was it difficult to choose a book that would not
\n(soon) be out of date, but also one not already held by UIUC. So I turned to my personal interests.
\nAs a Canadian whose experience of the U.S. has been rooted in the corn and soybeans of central
\nIllinois, what better choice could I make than something relating to the great Canadian landscape
\nartists of the Group of Seven, whose founding members included Lawren S. Harris, J. E. H.
\nMacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, Frank Johnston, Franklin Carmichael, and A. Y. Jackson
\n(Tom Thomson, often considered a member of this group drowned in Algonquin Park in 1917, before the
\nfirst show by the Group of Seven in 1920). I have grown up with their landscape and their
\npaintings, images that still take my breath away.<\/p>\n

I have not seen the book that I have requested. In keeping with the information age, I found the
\nbook online as well as the rare books store that has it for sale. I have conveyed the request for
\nthe book to the library electronically and realize that I may see it for the first time at the
\nreception for newly tenure and promoted faculty. In the meantime, it has been a pleasure and a
\ndelight to revisit the Group of Seven, and I hope the book will inspire others to explore these
\npainters and the land they painted.<\/p>\n

Edwin Lutyens was one of the greatest architects of the 20th century; yet because he rejected
\nthe tenets and visual forms of the Modern Movement, much of his work remains unfamiliar or
\nrelegated to a minor niche as “Arts and Crafts” design. This book introduces scholars and general
\nreaders to an array of important Lutyens buildings from France to New Delhi and from Washington, DC
\nto Rome. For my own studies of late 19th and early 20th century architecture, I greatly welcome
\nthis significant addition to the literature on Lutyens.<\/p>\n

\nThe Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Gary Zukav<\/p>\n

With superb clarity and insight, this book explains to the non-expert the strange concepts of
\nmodern physics, in such areas as quantum mechanics and relativity. There are many books which
\nendeavor to provide such popular introductions, but this one is truly exceptional in the sense of
\nwonder it conveys. It approaches physics from a philosophical perspective, inviting the reader to
\nponder the deeper implications of what we have learned. The counterintuitive discoveries of modern
\nphysics are compared in a running metaphor to the mind-expanding suggestions of Eastern mysticism,
\nshowing how both disciplines ask us to question our preconceived notions of the nature of things. I
\nwas greatly inspired by this book when I read it as an undergraduate student, and it still serves
\nas a reminder that science should always be approached with an open mind and a sense of wonder.<\/p>\n

This biography of Justice Byron White is an example of excellent contemporary legal scholarship.
\nIt offers an insightful and nuanced account not only of Justice White’s remarkable life, but also
\nof the ways in which personality and human experience shapes the development of law.<\/p>\n

\nWords on Words: A Dictionary for Writers and Others Who Care about Words<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

John B. Bremner<\/p>\n

Narrowing the list to just one book was surprisingly difficult. My first thought was fiction and
\nmy favorite political-intrigue novel,
\nSeven Days in May<\/em>. Then I thought more journalistic:
\nAll the President’s Men<\/em>. Or more personally relevant: Jim Lehrer’s
\nWe Were Dreamers<\/em>. Or more academically relevant: Edward Tufte’s
\nEnvisioning Information<\/em>. Or more classical philosophical:
\nMeditations on the First Philosophy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the end, if I had to limit my choice to just one book, either for this honor or for
\naccompanying me onto a desert island, it would have to be a reference work. That gave me the
\nobvious choice: John Bremner’s
\nWords on Words<\/em>, a psalmist’s concordance to the English language, evocative of my eternal
\nmemories of the zealotry of the larger-than-life Australian war hero turned priest turned
\njournalism professor who committed the words to paper and committed me and thousands of others
\nworship at the altar of our language.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Carter<\/p>\n

Jimmy Carter is an engineer who has directed his problem-solving skills beyond the technical
\nhorizon and is a great example and inspiration for all of us.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Carter’s rural roots remind me of my own upbringing. It is a way of life that is
\ndisappearing, but one worth remembering.<\/p>\n

\nCity of Djinns: A Year in Delhi<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Harper Collins<\/p>\n

This is a beautifully written, fascinating introduction to a country and a society I knew little
\nabout. The book brilliantly interweaves insights into Delhi’s rich culture and turbulent history
\nwith social and political commentary and with glimpses of present-day society and attitudes.
\nCity of Djinns<\/em> is often poignant, often humorous, but fundamentally respectful. My former
\npost-doctoral mentor recommended this rewarding book to me, and it’s a pleasure for me to recommend
\nit in turn.<\/p>\n

\nA Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Aldo Leopold<\/p>\n

It is a classic in the field of Conservation Biology that all should read and heed. As Leopold
\nstates, “Like wind and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away
\nwith them. Now we face the question whether a still higher \u2018standard of living’ is worth its cost
\nin things natural, wild and free.”<\/p>\n

For several years, I have found delight, wonder, and sober reflection in this anthology of the

\nto probe the universal human experience of searching for meaning and purpose in every aspect of

This is an invaluable work concerning the intellectual horizons and forms of textual annotation

\nconnection between the religious and seemingly non-religious spheres of Japanese society.<\/p>\n

Anne Fadiman<\/p>\n

I happened upon this book in Barnes and Noble quite by accident just as I was about to begin a
\nmajor new research initiative looking at the health impacts of environmental contaminants in Hmong
\nrefugees. It opened my eyes to Hmong culture, helped me to understand how Hmong people
\nconceptualize health and disease, and, perhaps most importantly, caused me to stop and reflect on
\nwhat it means to be an American.<\/p>\n

Like great food, Pynchon writes books that can be experienced again and again without losing

Bukowski summarizes the relationship between the individual and society in

\nprevail [at anything] gain a freedom that separates them from others.<\/p>\n

The book I selected has been in many ways a handbook for my teaching career. I read the first

\nthe book’s exquisite organization yet easy going style to fit my style of learning like a hand in
\nglove. Accordingly, I have used the second and third editions as the text for my course in General
\nPathology, taught to second year veterinary students. I follow in general its organizational scheme
\nand have emulated its easy going style. General Pathology has been transformed from a course that
\nwas formerly dreaded to one that is anticipated.<\/p>\n

\nStatistical Theories of Mental Test Scores<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Frederic M. Lord and Melvin R. Novick<\/p>\n

Theory exploration and development are always at the research core in any discipline. In
\neducational and psychological measurement, there are two major testing theories today: classical
\ntesting theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). Statistical Theories of Mental Test Scores by
\nLord and Novick (1968), with contributions by Allan Birnbaum, is the best classic book describing
\nboth theories, I believe. The book helped me a lot in understanding both theories and it is one of
\nthe references I used more frequently when I built my line of research in IRT and Kinesiology. I am
\nbuilding a Kinesmetrics (measurement and evaluation in Kinesiology) doctoral program at UIUC now
\nand this will be a required book for my doctoral students to read.<\/p>\n
