THE PAPERS OF F. G.MARCHAM edited by John Marcham (The Internet-First University Press). Frederick Marcham, one of Cornell's most beloved professors, taught at the University for sixty-nine years. The Goldwin Smith professor of English history emeritus was also a coach, adviser, mayor of Cayuga Heights, and author. His son John Marcham, a former editor of Cornell Alumni News, compiled and edited the six volumes of his father's papers. The Legacy of Frederick Marcham (DVD) presents an interview with fellow history professor Walter LaFeber, a video of one of Marcham's last class meetings in 1991, and two audio segments: a Sage Chapel sermon delivered by Marcham, and the Sage memorial service conducted for him in January 1993.

SOUL ON ISLAM  by Ahmad Maceo Eldridge Cleaver '92 (Seaburn). With a title that echoes his father's book Soul on Ice, Cleaver describes the lessons about social justice he learned from his parents, civil rights activists Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver. Born in 1969 during his family's exile in Algeria, Ahmad Cleaver now works as a teacher in Qatar. In this memoir, he examines the steps that led him to convert to Islam, explaining the meaning behind its principles, and attempting to cut through the Western fear and distrust of the religion.

THERE GOES MY EVERYTHING  by Jason Sokol (Knopf). Sokol, a visiting professor of history at Cornell, writes about the experiences of white southerners during the civil rights struggles of 1945 to 1975. While some white veterans who fought alongside blacks in World War II advocated integration after the war, racial customs in the postwar South did not change quickly. Sokol portrays the range of attitudes among whites, both sympathetic and resistant, as African Americans gained political power in the former strongholds of segregation.

DEAF IN JAPAN  by Karen Nakamura '93 (Cornell University Press). An assistant professor of anthropology and East Asian studies at Yale University explores the emergence of deaf culture in Japan, arguing that deaf Japanese citizens don't have the same minority identity-based model of social protest as their American counterparts. In the 1970s, deaf activists began to link the international focus on the disabled with modernizing trends in Japanese culture.
