\nMalcolm X<\/p>\n

Finding this book in my mother’s office in 8th grade changed my life, inspiring my first “research” project and a reconsideration of my place in the world.

“Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit…” Although I realize Dostoevsky borrowed the message, he breathes it to life in this novel.

As a graduate student I discovered Louis H. Sullivan’s A System of Architectural Ornament<\/em> (1924). The philosophical ideas combined with explanations of how to create beauty helped me escape the modernist ideology of my education.

\nChristina J. Campbell, Agustin Fuentes, Katherine C. MacKinnon, Simon K. Bearder, Rebecca M. Stumpf<\/p>\n

I hope that this book inspires interest among students of the University of Illinois in the amazing diversity of primates, the need to learn more about the natural world, and the necessity of conserving it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ceremonial Time: Fifteen Thousand Years on One Square Mile<\/em><\/a>
\nJohn Hanson Mitchell<\/p>\n

John Hanson Mitchell offers a fascinating, non-linear approach to history of place in which the trappings of past, present and future coexist at once. This book is especially meaningful to me in understanding and unpacking my own family\u2019s two hundred year inhabitance in a small Midwest farming community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Experimental Housing Project (PREVI), Lima – Design and Technology in a New Neighborhood<\/em><\/a>
\nPeter Land<\/p>\n

Prof. Peter Land\u2019s influence on me has been tremendous, he is a role model for any architect who wants to positively influence change. This year I was particularly happy to hear the news that Peter had finally completed the book that had taken him over 50 years to write.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Babel and Babylon: Spectatorship in American Silent Film<\/em><\/a>
\nMiriam Hansen<\/p>\n

Miriam Hansen, who died in 2011, was one of the greatest influences on my scholarship at the University of Chicago, and my ideal model for how to be a cinema scholar and historian. She was a giant, and I am glad to have been able to be mentored by her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cuentos Completos (2 volumes)<\/em><\/a>
\nJulio Cort\u00e1zar<\/p>\n

Cort\u00e1zar\u2019s short stories bring back memories of slower times and shared discussions with my best friend, Guiye, one of the most positive influences in my life. Once you read \u201cCasa Tomada\u201d or \u201cCartas de Mam\u00e1\u201d, you are trapped by Cort\u00e1zar and I am back with Guiye. Gracias amiga m\u00eda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Misanthrope, Tartuffe, and Other Plays<\/em><\/a>
\nMoli\u00e8re<\/p>\n

A Chinese translation of Moli\u00e8re’s work was my favorite lunchtime reading when I was a teenager. Now as an adult, I enjoy the power of his writing by watching his comedies being played again and again by real people in the real world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA<\/em><\/a>
\nJames D. Watson<\/p>\n

A famous, controversial, but ultimately honest account of scientific discovery: striving, competition, ignorance, guess work, failure, the moment of inspiration, and an achievement to be remembered for the ages! I’ve read this book over and over again post-tenure to date — every time I need that boost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Intersectionality in Intentional Communities: The Struggle for Inclusivity in Multicultural U.S. Protestant Congregations<\/em><\/a>
\nAssata Zerai<\/p>\n

During this era of talk about diversity and inclusion, empirical work that takes these issues seriously helps to chart a way forward so we can learn to embrace difference, and benefit from the many perspectives brought to the fore when we decide to be intentional about inclusion. I offer this small contribution to that enterprise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Morality of Law<\/em><\/a>
\nLon Fuller<\/p>\n

This book offers what I find to be the most compelling defense of the rule of law. It explains why the rule of law has intrinsic moral value structures, and how the rule of law constrains the pursuit of injustice. This book has profoundly influenced my thinking since my early days of graduate school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
