The 2014 University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Chancellor’s Regional Literary Award will be given to Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Deborah Blum, who also is Helen Firstbrook Franklin Professor of Journalism at UW-Madison. On Monday, October 27, Ms. Blum will provide a reading and book signing from 7-9 pm in the University Center’s Summers Auditorium.
Among her books are several that are available from Andersen Library: The poisoner’s handbook: Murder and the birth of forensic medicine in Jazz Age New York, Ghost hunters: William James and the search for scientific proof of life after death, The monkey wars, and Love at Goon Park: Harry Harlow and the science of affection. If Andersen Library’s copies are checked out, UW-Whitewater students and staff may request that copies from other UW campus libraries be sent here by using the free UB Request service. Search Andersen Library’s holdings through Research@UWW’s Books, Media and more (UW Whitewater). Search and request titles from other UW’s through the “Books, Media and more (UW System)” segment of Research@UWW.
