  • Exodus = Éxodo - Bowden, Charles
    Call Number: JV6456 .B68 2008
    ISBN/ISSN: 0292718144
    With over 100 photographs and evocative text, this is much more than a
    coffee-table book on the important topic of Mexican immigration to the
    United States. Exodus/Exodo tells the human story of the people, the
    land, the journeys, the needs and the hopes of millions of new
    Americans.
    --Recommended by Molly Molloy, Border/Latin American Studies Librarian

  • Parallel worlds: A journey through creation, higher dimensions, and the future of the cosmos - Kaku, Michio
    Call Number: QB981 .K134 2005
    ISBN/ISSN: 1400033721
    This is a book on science that will shake your world and your universe.
    Through the ages, literature and folklore have brought us many alternative
    universes: Narnia, Neverland, and Fairyland are only a few examples. In
    this book, theoretical physicist Michio Kaku brings us scientific
    explanations of the paradoxical universe, parallel universes, and beyond
    the multiverse. He brings the weird world of quantum physics and string
    theory to life in a manner entertaining and accessible to the lay reader.
    --Recommended by Jeanette Smith, Grants/University Relations Officer

  • Stat spotting: A field guide to identifying dubious data - Best, Joel
    Call Number: HM535 .B477 2008
    ISBN/ISSN: 0520257464
    Best offers commonsense strategies to critically analyze questionable statistics that crop almost daily in our culture, much of which are either miscalculated, misinterpreted, blown out of proportion or deliberately misleading. Best draws on recent news stories, advertising blurbs and other media reports to illustrate his points. His other two works, Damn Lies and Statistics and More Damned Lies and Statistics are also available at NMSU Library. Highly readable, accessible and valuable.
    --Recommended by Susan Beck, Collection Development Coordinator

  • Truth: A novel of Discworld - Pratchett, Terry
    Call Number: PR6066.R34 T78 2000
    ISBN/ISSN: 0380978954
    Truth deals with the introduction of moveable type to Ankh-Morpork, chief city of the Disc, by Gunilla Goodmountain and
    William de Worde. Together they uncover a plot against the Patrician,
    Lord Vetinari, who believes in one man, one vote; he's the man and he has
    the vote!.
    --Recommended by Larry Creider, Special Collections Librarian
