This book was my personal introduction to complexity. It's a rare and beautiful work, where the author masterfully weaves together the birth of a new science, the founding of a pioneering research institute, and the stories of the remarkable researchers who shaped it.

This landmark book masterly covers the progress made in the last decades in the quantitative study of cellular membranes.

I studied this book extensively as part of my dissertation, and it helped form my understanding of audience construction and engagement in sacred lyric poetry during the religious upheaval of the Reformation and its aftermath.

I loved Calder's survey text on architecture that approaches architectural history in a new way--through fuel, including the "fuel" necessary to feed the builders, etc. The scope and illustrations of this book look amazing.

When I teach, I strive to foster a classroom culture grounded in kindness, care, mutual respect and belongingness. I want my students to know they are more than a grade or a number - that I am genuinely invested in their growth and success. In our classroom, I work to create a true sense of belonging, where trust is built through empathy, support, and open communication. My goal is to help students not only succeed academically but also experience the transformative power of a classroom defined by connection, encouragement, and shared commitment to learning.

This book is my award-winning examination of gender in sport broadcast media. I pursued this research very early on in my scholarly career because I felt (and still feel) that we as a society had very few solutions to gender inequities that seem so obvious to anyone who consumes sport media. I also believe that the sport media industrial complex is society's mirror; as an observable entity, the sport media have as much to say about us as a society as they do sport and media.

"Dying of Whiteness," written by Jonathan M. Metzl, is a compelling exploration of how certain political and policy decisions, rooted in racial resentment, can lead individuals to vote against their own economic and health interests. The book examines the paradoxical ways in which these choices ultimately harm the well-being of the very communities that support them.

"My path to full professor has included my two greatest accomplishments: bringing my two daughters into the world and creating a fun, loving, and safe home for them. As a family of Halloween lovers, we have always enjoyed reading Room on the Broom. While we love its playful theme, what stands out most is its message - that sharing with others and being a good friend is the best path to success. That same lesson has shaped my career. Room on the Broom is a great metaphor for interdisciplinary work in weather and climate disasters. When we each throw in our expertise, we can create the most powerful brew of solutions. There is room on the broom for everyone. Iggety, ziggety, zaggety, ZOOM!"

Species coexistence is fundamental to maintaining biological diversity. How species with similar resource requirements can coexist in the same space is a hotly debated topic in ecology because it has direct consequences on our understanding of the functioning of ecosystems and how to conserve them while using them in a sustainable way. This book offers a mechanistic understanding of when and how such coexistence is possible. It is a book I would have loved to read when I was a graduate student.
