“These major works are a true reflection of the breadth and depth of the expertise and creativity at a comprehensive university such as UB, and including our affiliated institutions, such as Roswell Park Cancer Institute.”
UB will salute more than 80 faculty and staff authors at a reception being held from 3-5 p.m. on April 6 in the Black Box Theatre in the Center for the Arts, North Campus.
“An Anthology of Recognition: The Third Annual Salute to UB Authors” is being hosted by President John B. Simpson; Provost Satish K. Tripathi, executive vice president for academic affairs; and Jorge José, vice president for research.
It will honor UB and Roswell Park Cancer Institute authors who have published full-length scholarly books over the course of the past year—from May 1, 2008, to March 31, 2009—as well as those authors who may have been inadvertently missed in either of the first two recognition events in 2007 and 2008.
José points out that UB faculty members annually produce an average of 80 full-length scholarly books. “Indeed, we have paid tribute to over 300 UB authors and their 350 books since our first recognition event in 2007,” he says.
“These major works are a true reflection of the breadth and depth of the expertise and creativity at a comprehensive university such as UB, and including our affiliated institutions, such as Roswell Park Cancer Institute.”
The authors’ books represent a variety of disciplines, ranging from the humanities to the arts to the social, physical, biological and biomedical sciences, and include textbooks, volumes of poetry and works that have been translated into foreign languages. Among the books are “Happy Pills in America: From Miltown to Prozac” by David Herzberg, assistant professor of history, and “Inside El Barrio: A Bottom-Up View of Neighborhood Life in Castro’s Cuba,” by Henry Louis Taylor, professor of urban and regional planning,
