American River College Library You can get 7 out of 10 of these through the library. I'm ordering the ones we don't have. And, as always, I welcome your recommendations.

What makes a book worth Oprah's time? John McWhorter flags the strongest, smartest writing on race that slipped through the cracks. Somehow.

American River College Library ARC faculty and staff, I'd love your input on this: Would you be more likely to check stuff out of the library if we delivered items to you through interoffice mail? If you didn't actually ever have to come to the library? Thanks!

Thanks so much, Tressa, Shauna, and Natasha. I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully this is a service we will introduce before too long.

For now, yes. When the new building is done, I like to get a break from the office now and again.

Just found a very intriguing article in one of the databases titled "Casual Sex." From the abstract: "This essay explores the homosocial world of hobos, tramps, 'casual labourers' and other itinerant workers in early twentieth-century North America." It's not full-text, so we'd need to order it via interlibrary loan. W...ho else wants a a copy? Or am I the only one researching hobosexuality?Read More

If your ex-spouse has run off and taken your children abroad, and the international legal system is failing to bring them back, what are you to do? One option is to call Gus Zamora, a former Army ranger who will, for a hefty fee, get your children back. ...

American River College Library Initially excited to hear that the authors of Freakonomics have a new book coming out. Disappointed to learn about the type of research upon which the authors rely to hype the notion of global cooling: "Levitt said he did not do any statistical analysis of temperatures, but 'eyeballed' the numbers and noticed 2005 was hotter than the last couple of years."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Have you heard that the world is now cooling instead of warming? You may have seen some news reports on the Internet or heard about it from a provocative new book. Only one problem: ...

American River College Library Wow, I've read a lot of uninformed and erroneous pieces in the ARC Current, but the "Can we afford gay marriage in this struggling economy?" editorial is truly troubling. If you want to speak on an issue, have a modicum of knowledge on the topic. This article is a good starting point for you if you think gay marriage would bring this country to the brink of economic ruin.

As states like California grapple over gay marriage, New England has found that it can be a small fillip to the economy.

I finally read the aforementioned "editorial" on gay marriage in the Current, and find it sadly ironic that the author is the same young woman who on the front page wrote an article explaining the cultural significance of her own arranged marriage to overcome people's ignorance and judgment of such traditions. Perhaps the journalism adviser should get her a dictionary.

American River College Library Here's a fine read on how error-ridden the new edition of the APA publication manual is. What a swindle.

American Psychological Association concedes its new manual has plenty of mistakes, but won't pay to provide error-free copies to faculty and students.

American River College Library The book NurtureShock is now available in the library. This book has made quite a splash; you've probably heard about it from Newsweek, NPR, or the New York Times. It's a fantastic read.

American River College Library Just read a fantastic book: Cop in the Hood by Peter Moskos. Moskos, a sociologist, details his 14 months working as a police officer in the Eastern District of Baltimore (the neighborhood portrayed in The Wire) and discusses the futility of a war on drugs. Ordering it for our collection. What are you reading?
