Books to read and love, all from Maryland alumni
"Ernie Full of Energy" by
Tara Iona ´91 is
a great
way for parents
and their
children to
begin a dialogue
about the frustrations
involved with
learning disorders,
particularly ADHD.
Ernie´s constant energy
and sometimes explosive behavior
confuse his parents, but through it
all they see their son´s special and
wonderful qualities.
University Professor
Anil C. Gupta and
Haiyan
Wang ´95 help business
leaders
develop robust
global strategies
by uncovering hidden
opportunities—and
challenges—presented
by the rapidly growing
economies of China and India.
In "Getting China and India
Right," they reveal the secrets to
capturing the hearts, minds and
wallets of consumers there.
In "Rabbit in the Moon" by Deborah
and Joel Shlian ´67, Dr. Lili Quan
honors her mother´s dying
wish by traveling
to China,
where she
meets her
grandfather,
who made a
remarkable discovery:
the secret
to long life. This
earth-shattering find
could become a deadly
international game.
In "Darwin´s Race", Brian Ullmann ´92 takes readers on perhaps the most ambitious adventure race ever attempted, pitting 12 hardened climbers against each other and the daunting elements of the world´s deepest unexplored gorge. As the race unfolds and death occurs, people discover the gorge is not as uninhabited as they believed.
"The Pink Locker Society" by Debra Moffitt ´89, presents the story of three best friends who go on a mission at their middle school. Their job: help other girls by answering their questions about anything. The book gives parents a high-quality, non-threatening way to share with their "tweens" information about growing up.
"Windows to a Wider World", by Harland G. Copeland and V. Joseph McAuliffe M.A. ´55, contains biographies of the Payne Fellows and the National 4-H fellows that speak to the service of these dedicated citizens. The book documents one dimension of a successful effort to prepare professional staff for future service.
