\"CC-BUL-DECEMBER-36-Bookshelf-NowandThenBradley-2015\"<\/a>Now and Then Old Worlds Unfurl<\/h3>\n

by Mary Elizabeth Bradley \u201961<\/b><\/p>\n

Jones and co-author Emily Calhoun ask if parallel lives can intersect \u2014 then enumerate the ways theirs have: family lives, professional interests, commitment to a public ethic, and love of nature. \u201cWe have recognized over the 15 years we have been meeting as friends and writers, we have come to speak with different voices about our worlds. Through the process of bringing our poetry together and forging intersections among our words, we have experienced the convergence of our parallel lives,\u201d Jones says. Their book of poems is a testament to that. Published by Poetry Partners Press, 2014.<\/p>\n

by Jessica Feis Lamirand \u201998, MAT \u201905<\/b><\/p>\n

As a coming-of-age memoir set during the author\u2019s first two-and-a-half years as a CC student, the setting of this book should be familiar to alumni. Feis bonds with six girls in her dorm who dub themselves \u201cThe Group\u201d after Mary McCarthy\u2019s bestselling 1963 novel. This group vows to remain friends forever, avoiding the fate of their namesakes. But even as they fight to save their friendship, time, addictions, and mental illness form cracks in the group\u2019s foundation. Set in the mid-1990s, the friends experiment with the joys of uninhibited choices and deal with the accompanying pitfalls of sexual pressures, self-image issues, and substance abuse.

by Marli Miller \u201982<\/b><\/p>\n

Miller, a CC geology major, has published this completely new edition (the first was published in 1978), of \u201cRoadside Geology of Oregon,\u201d featuring the most up-to-date understanding of Oregon\u2019s geology. Photographs showcase the state\u2019s splendor while helping readers understand geologic processes at work. Maps generated with the latest technology show how far the science of geology has come since 1978, when the implications of plate tectonic theory were only beginning to shape geologic research and discussion. Steaming volcanoes, ghost forests, recent landslides, and towns heated with geothermal energy attest to Oregon\u2019s still-prominent position at the edge of an active tectonic plate.

\"CC-BUL-DECEMBER-37-Bookshelf-OilIliberalismPriceSmith-2015\"<\/a>Oil, Illiberalism, and War<\/h3>\n

by Andrew Price-Smith, associate professor of political science<\/p>\n

In this book, subtitled \u201cAn Analysis of Energy and U.S. Foreign Policy,\u201d Price-Smith says the United States is addicted to crude oil, and this addiction has distorted the conduct of American foreign policy in profound and malign ways, resulting in interventionism, exploitation, and other illiberal behaviors that hide behind a facade of liberal internationalism. The symbiotic relationship between the state and the oil industry has produced deviations from rational foreign energy policy, including interventions in Iraq and elsewhere that he says have been counterproductive to national interests.

\"Davey<\/a>Davey McGravy<\/h3>\n

Mason\u2019s first children\u2019s book tells the story of Davey, who lives with his father and two brothers, but mourns his absent mother. \u201cI decided the storyteller was a child reading to a parent or a parent reading to a child, and that Davey was a boy who had suffered a tremendous loss. When his father gives him the rhyming name, it works a kind of magic. Davey begins to see rhymes \u2014 correspondences \u2014 everywhere in nature, even in those parts of nature we find in the shopping mall and in school,\u201d Mason said. The book is illustrated with etchings by Grant Silverstein. Published by Paul Dry Books, 2015.<\/p>\n

by Steven Hayward, associate professor of English<\/p>\n

This collection of short fiction, which combines Hayward\u2019s\u00a0new works with some older stories, also features an introduction from him about writing and teaching short fiction. Erudite and funny, nostalgic and fanciful, these stories unlock the secret longings and unlooked-for victories that make up everyday life. Whether finding himself in the stands at Yankee Stadium on Bat Day, caught off-guard by the myriad ways in which a recipe\u2019s misspellings are a window into the woman who wrote it years before, or exploring how loss and love get intertwined, Hayward writes with a sure sense of his characters and their complex, imperfect worlds.
