We’d like to highlight just a few of the hundreds of new books that the library acquires each month. And why not start with controversy? Another country’s, that is. Chantal Bouchard, a linguist at McGill University, tackles the loaded question of “Parisian French” versus so-called “French-Canadian patois” and the issues that have accompanied it for almost two centuries in Obsessed with Language: A Sociolinguistic History of Quebec<\/em><\/a> (LPC 447.9714 B7524O).<\/p>\n

Not ready to head that far north? How about Wisconsin? Chicago-Lake Geneva: A 100 Year Road Trip<\/em><\/a> (LPC 917 C5329) retraces the route of a 1905 “photographic automobile map” complete with period advertisements and hand-drawn directional arrows.

Road trips mean summer, and summer means baseballbut not for everyone. In Stolen Bases: Why American Girls Don’t Play Baseball<\/em><\/a> (LPC 796.357082 R5812S), University of Nevada-Reno professor of political science Jennifer Ring explores the intersection of gender, colonialism, and big business in our national pastime.<\/p>\n
