The campus theme for 2007-2008 is "Sustainable Communities." This theme explores structures and values of communities that inspire individuals to make choices that are good not only in the present, but also for our children, and great-great-great grandchildren.
The One Book, One Campus Committee needs your help in suggesting books related to this theme for consideration for next year's One Book, One Campus title.
Criteria to keep in mind when suggesting potential titles are:
Is the title still in print and available in paperback?
Would the title have a wide-appeal to students in a variety of disciplines?
Can a connection be made to the title and the campus theme?
Is the book under 350 pages long?
Suggested Titles so far:
- The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey
- An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It by Al Gore
- The Columbian Exchange by Alfred Crosby
- The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth by E. O. Wilson
- An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen
- Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond
- Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
- Planet of Slums by Mike Davis
- The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century by James Howard Kunstler
- Lost Mountain: A Year in the Vanishing Wilderness by Erik Reece
The One Book, One Campus Committee wants to hear from you. The Deadline for submissions is December 6. Contact Julie Elliott at jmfelli@iusb.edu with your suggestions.
