So, I may be biased, but I think we get some really interesting books in the library. We received some more last week and I confess, it was hard to pick one to highlight! There is the 15th edition of The Copyright Handbook which, while maybe not quite so interesting, does include information on “the emerging rules around copyright and AI.” Very timely if you are doing any writing.

Then there is Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement from Cubits to Quantum Constants by James Vincent. I certainly never gave too much thought to the “political consequences of measurement.” This looks like an interesting blend of “science and social history.” And, I learned what a “collop” is.

Finally, there is Great Short Works: A Year of Reading—Briefly by Kenneth C. Davis. This “guide to great short novels” has reminded me of some great short novels I’ve read and introduced me to some I’d like to read. Davis gives you the first few lines of the novel, a plot summary, a biographical sketch of the novel’s author, and some other things to read. 

Come see us in Opelika, and find out what other interesting titles we have!
