Books on Parade
Highlights from Arts and Sciences authors range from Mexican art and baseball to the meaning of meaning
How do you share a divisible resource like a cake, or an indivisible one like a pet or a house? What’s a good technique for improving the performance of an 8-year-old shortstop? Who were the key influences on the Black Power movement?
The answers can be found in three of the 37 books that were featured at this year’s Arts and Sciences book party, hosted by Dean Robert Sternberg on April 6.
Following recent tradition, the book party celebrated the accomplishments of Arts and Sciences faculty authors during the past year. As well, eight recently released musical recordings were included among the honored works.
