UB faculty and staff are a prolific bunch. Since 2007, they have authored or edited more than 500 books.
The latest batch of authors and editors—those whose work was published during the past two years—were recognized on Monday at “An Anthology of Recognition: The Fifth Salute to UB Authors,” held in the Center for Tomorrow.
The event honored 117 faculty and staff from UB and Roswell Park Cancer Institute who authored or edited more than 125 books.
Full-length books, noted Alex Cartwright, vice president for research and economic development, “have a lasting impact upon the academy.”
“Books allow for in-depth analyses, and for expansive creativity. Books are the central repository for information that then informs all, and they preserve a history across the disciplines,” Cartwright wrote in the program for the event. “They are a picture of one’s soul. To author or edit a book is an important accomplishment, and it is this form of scholarship that we honor in this salute to UB authors.”
The books recognized at Monday’s reception reflect “the breadth and depth of the expertise, creativity and scholarship” at UB, he wrote, with work ranging from textbooks in the sciences, medicine and engineering to works of poetry, fiction and nonfiction.
