This book encouraged me to think about what it means to be sentient. It delves into the complexities of love, loss, and loneliness, as well as the challenging ethical issues surrounding artificial intelligence.

1. The title brought a smile to my face. This concert comes from 1989, twenty-four years into their career and widely considered a high point (with more to come). 2. DVDs and similar formats present a preservation challenge for libraries. This concert cannot be found on streaming music platforms; it can be accessed through an audience recording on the Internet Archive. 3. Specific songs resonate with me and capture a range of ambivalent thoughts, hopes, and feelings.

These were the first books I read that opened my mind to the wonder of being transported to another world. This thirst for learning and transportation encouraged me to also seek new worlds and knowledge which I've continued to do in my academic career.

Demonic Grounds is one of the most transformative texts in geography. It, alongside Katherine McKittrick's entire body of work, has been indispensable to my scholarship on and teaching in Black Geographies.

Paul C. Hess mentored dozens of graduate students who went on to successful careers in academia and industry. In his classic textbook, he applies the same care invested in his mentoring relationships to communicate a convoluted subject in an intuitive way.

This book is currently not in the Hodges collection. It makes available and accessible the correspondence of the playwright Bernard Shaw and the critic and translator William Archer, who is also responsible for introducing Ibsen to the English-speaking world. Although it is out of my own area of historical specialization, I expect that this book will be useful to colleagues and students researching Shaw and the development of modern drama. On a more personal level, the editor of this collection is the late Thomas Postlewait. Tom was a beloved mentor to many, including me. He taught me how to scrutinize existing narratives, identify overlooked sources, and to consider revision as writing. Above all, his kindness, generosity, and support made me want to pursue an academic life.

This book has been very influential to my understanding of the Latino/a experience in the U.S., as well as to making meaning of my own experience as an immigrant. It has informed my research and teaching and, despite being more than a decade old, remains very relevant.
