Health Consequences of Smoking: Nicotine Addiction

Report of the Surgeon General
U.S. Dept. of Health and Human services, Centers for Disease Control, Public Health Promotion and Education,Office on Smoking and Health, U.S.G.P.O.
1988

This report, published during my dotctoral studies, was very instrumental in my research cevelopment. The significalce of nicotine addiction was emphasized with this publication and effectively publicized by Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. It is a critical concept in guiding research and appropriately treating tobacco use.

Dairy Processing Handbook.

Gösta Bylund. Tetra Pak Processing Systems AB
2003

An important responsibility for my tenure at OSU was to teach Processing of Milk and Dairy Products. Teaching and learning about milk and dairy products processing is fascinating, enjoyable, and at the same time challenging. There are hundreds of books in this field, and I found that this one covers the necessary scientific, technical and practical information for anybody interested in learning about dairy processing and technology. I dedicate this book to my family for their support and inspiration, my executive colleagues and employees of my former company, Country Fresh Inc., in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that gave me the opportunity and introduced me into the corporate dairy world, to my colleagues in the Department of Food Science and Technology, and especially to my OSU graduate and undergraduate students who, I think, are the most important part of this beautiful academic and research community.

Trees of the Central Hardwood Forests of North America: An Identification and Cultivation Guide.

Donald J. Leopold, William C. McComb and Robert N. Muller.
Timber Press
1998.

I selected this book for two reasons. First, the primary author, Donald J. Leopold, was a great inspiration to me as an undergraduate forestry student at Purdue University. Don was my lab instructor in forest dendrology, and I later served as a teaching assistant in this class under his leadership. He played a major role in my senior honor's project and helped me to publish my first paper. Don exposed me to the southern Appalachian Mountains and to ecological research at the world famous Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in North Carolina, where I conducted research as a Master's student at the University of Georgia. Don's enthusiasm for trees, woody plants, forest ecology and teaching continues to inspire me. Secondly, this book is a wonderful resource. It is extremely well written, technically accurate, and contains exquisite photography. As with every project that Don has undertaken, this book is second to none.

Engineering the Genetic Code: Expanding the Amino Acid Repertoire for the Design of Novel Proteins.

Nediljko Budisa.
Wiley-VCH
2006.

This is the most up-to-date and comprehensive monograph in the field of expanding the natural repertoire of amino acids for research, drug discovery, etc. It is a fascinating and rapidly growing field that was not readily accessible to novices due to lack of good introductory-intermediate textbooks and monographs. This book fills this void and would benefit many OSU researchers and students in biomedical disciplines.

Ultra High Pressure Treatments of Foods.

Ed. by Marc E.G. Hendrickx, Dietrich Knorr with Linda Ludikhuyze, Ann Van Loey, and Volker Heinz. Kluwer
Academic/Plenum Publishers
2001.

High-pressure processing (HPP) represents a solution to a growing consumer demand for wholesome, fresh- tasting foods, where application of pressure makes the food safe. High pressure processing is touted as one of the best innovations in food processing during the past half century. At the Ohio State University Department of Food Science and Technology, our laboratory conducts basic and applied research addressing industrial and regulatory concerns of this emerging food processing technology. This book examines the use of high-pressure technology in food processing and preservation. The book covers the food science and engineering aspects of this non-thermal treatment of foods. Effects of pressure treatment on microorganisms, food quality, and food structure of foods are covered.

Trace Elements in Terrestrial Environments.

Domy C. Adriano.
2nd edition.
Springer, 2001.

Dr. Adriano provides a fascinating overview of trace element "biogeochemistry" in this textbook. The book chapters take you on a journey of trace elements from rock to soil to plants to animals to humans and back to the earth. You realize that you are an intermediate step in the trace element cycle. You are just the temporary residence of these dynamic elements. The first edition of this textbook (1986) inspired me by making soil science and trace element biogeochemistry a living topic.

Walking London's Medical History.

Nick Black.
Royal Society of Medicine Press
2006

This book pulls together my interests in medicine and the liberal arts. During my undergraduate studies at Hiram College, my passion for a broad-based education was fostered, and during my junior year I had my first study abroad experience in a course called "Historic and Literary London" with Professor Wil Hoffman. In autumn quarter 2006, as a participant in London Honors H296, I gave my first lecture as a full professor to a group of students that I had the privilege and pleasure of accompanying to London after the quarter's completion. To return to London 25 years later as a faculty member along with 25 college freshmen was a tribute to my love of life-long learning. I will always be a patron of the liberal arts!

When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple.

Ed. by Sandra Martz.
4th edition. Papier-Mâché
2004

I selected this book because it portrays the strengths of women in all stages of life. The poems in this book encourage me to stretch, to be different, to pursue my dreams, to make a difference, to live life on the edge. The readings address the woman in each of us as we journey through time. It blesses the woman, the mother, the daughter, the beauty in each one of us. This book has always made me smile. I am glad I started to wear purple before I was an old woman!

Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom

bell hooks
Routledge
1994

This book was introduced to me by Vivian Gadsden during the first semester of my doctoral program. It helped me to conceptualize radical academic work in the field of education. In doing so, it helped me to imagine myself as an activist scholar. And now, I work to make it so by "teaching to transgress."

Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana Ms. Urbinate Latino 1411.

Facsimile edition.
Libreria Musicale Italiana
2006

For students of early music, manuscript facsimiles offer a priceless window into a vanished world of sounding culture. The manuscript Vat. Urb. Lat. 1411, a rare songbook from the Medici circle, is fascinating in illustrating the tastes of the Florentine court, and also in juxtaposing earlier fifteenth-century secular polyphony in the northern taste with a nascent Italian humanist sensibility, visible in the redaction of this lovely little source. The repertory it transmits, as well as the manuscript itself, has been central to my work on early fifteenth-century song.

"Motor Outputs From the Primate Reticular Formation to Shoulder Muscles as Revealed by Stimulus-Triggered Averaging,"

A.G. Davidson and J.A. Buford
Journal of Neurophysiology. American Physiological Society.
Vol. 92 (July 2004): 83-95.

This journal contains the first article published by my first PhD student, Dr. Adam Davidson. Dr. Davidson's dissertation project yielded an immense amount of original data, and this paper was only the first in a series that was the first to effectively describe the motor output patterns from the reticulospinal system in the monkey. Without Dr. Davidson's outstanding work, tenure for me would not have been possible. I hope the reader will find his paper of interest.

Introduction to Computational Biology: Maps, Sequences and Genomes.

Michael S. Waterman
Chapman & Hall
2000

My scientific background (and current appointment) is in Physics. Until concluding my first postdoctoral appointment, I was a traditional condensed matter theorist concerned with inanimate objects. During my second postdoc I discovered the fascination of research problems in the life sciences. Applying physical and computational methods to biological problems has since been my passion and the basis of my professional success. As one of the first textbooks in the, at that time, emerging field of computational biology, Michael Waterman's book was my guide and epitomizes for me this crucial period of transition from a traditional physicist to a life scientist.

2004

Dr. Larry Peterson, who initially published this book in 1992, was one of the mentors who inspired my professional career. The teacher of teachers, Dr. Peterson was always the most vigorous critic of his residents, but also our strongest advocate. He demanded hard work, but taught me that it isn't really work if you love what you do. A skilled and gifted surgeon who cared about his patients as if they were members of his own family. Certainly a great example to live by.

Blue Jackets, Gold Standards: 75 Years of Living the FFA Legacy

Paul Miner
M.T. Publishing
2003

The FFA (Future Farmers of America) organization had a profound effect on my personal life and professional career. My FFA career began in 1976 as a Greenhand in the Caledonia FFA Chapter in Caledonia, Michigan. I have served the FFA organization on the local, state, national, and international levels. I have worked with FFA chapters in Michigan, Arizona, Idaho, and Ohio. It has been my pleasure to work with the National FFA by serving as the Superintendent of the National FFA Parliamentary Procedure CDE. As a university faculty member, I have worked with agriculture teachers, FFA members, and helped to prepare future teachers for their role as FFA Advisors. I have also researched the history of the FFA organization and how it has grown into the premier youth leadership development organization. The FFA organization helped me to become the teacher, advisor, researcher, and leader that I am today.

Bioenergetics 3

David G. Nicholls and Stuart J. Ferguson.
Academic Press
2002

Mitochondria perform a number of critical cellular functions, many of which were only recently discovered. The textbook by Nicholls and Ferguson provides an up-to-date review of the mechanisms of mitochondrial high energy phosphate (energy) production, which is essential for the normal function of many living organisms, including animals and humans. It is my hope that this textbook will entice young scientists into the compelling field of mitochondrial research.

What It Means to Be a Buckeye

Jim Tressel
Triumph Books
2003

I selected this book because I would like to honor a man who embodies tolerance, respect for others, and a transparency of values. With a kind and generous spirit, a penchant for humor, and an unwavering sense of optimism, he brings perspective and relief to the most unsolvable of arguments. He is humble, uncomplicated, and unchanging. I have learned much from him and am privileged to be his friend. Given his staunch support of The Ohio State University and his ever-present loyalty to his beloved Buckeyes, the venue for this tribute is appropriate. As a devoted fan of Coach Jim Tressel - a man who personifies the Ohio State University spirit of excellence, competitiveness, perseverance and fairness - I recognize and honor my friend, Bob Haffey.

Nematodes as Biocontrol Agents

Ed. by Parwinder S. Grewal, Ralf-Udo Ehlers, David I. Shapiro- Ilan
CABI Publishing
2005

This book brings together research conducted by myself and by numerous colleagues around the world on a fascinating group of soil animals - the roundworms, more technically called the nematodes. The book is a true departure from the mere description of interactions between the nematodes and other organisms as a scientific curiosity to actually describing their use as biological control agents to bring benefits to society. The book illustrates the potential of using nematodes in managing insects, mollusks, ticks, nematodes, and fungal and bacterial pathogens that cause billions of dollars in damages to plants and animals worldwide. The book demonstrates how discoveries of complex biological phenomena are paving the way for developing mass-production, formulation, and application techniques for biological pest and disease control agents. The book is bound to challenge future generations to think 'out of the box' to explore frontiers of nematode biology and soil ecology and to push contemporary developments in bioprocess, chemical, genetic, molecular, and ecological engineering.

Andrew Carnegie

David Nasaw
Penguin Press
2006

I was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, the hometown of Andrew Carnegie. For those of us who grew up there, it was understood that the erstwhile "Richest Man In The World" was just a local lad like the rest of us. No doubt this left the impression among us that anything was possible. Carnegie's mark upon the city is inescapable even today. He endowed it with, amongst other things, the world's first Carnegie library, a huge and beautiful park, a concert hall, a recreation center, and a center for women's health. His boyhood home stands today as a museum. Growing up there, I benefited greatly from Carnegie's largesse. Yet for all his benefaction, Carnegie was a conflicted individual whose philanthropy came after a life of utterly ruthless business dealings. This book paints an honest and valuable (if not always pretty) portrait.

Betsy-Tacy

Maud Hart Lovelace.
lllustrated by Lois Lenski
HarperCollins
1995
(Originally published 1940)

I first read Betsy-Tacy when I was five or six, and I went on to read all the other books in this series, all of which were on the shelves of the Sheepshead Bay branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. I believe these are the books that made me understand that one could be a writer--that I could be a writer--not only because Betsy, a fictionalized version of the author, wanted so badly to grow up to write books (and I knew she had), but because the language of these books inspired me to think about language in a way I hadn't before. These books, written in the forties about Betsy and her friends at the turn of the century, had an enormous influence on me. I don't think I realized this until many years later, when my husband, reading a chapter of Betsy-Tacy (newly in print again in paperback) to our then three-year-old daughter, paused to call out to me, "Hey, this woman writes just like you!"

The Urban Crucible: Social Change, Political Consciousness, and the Origins of the American Revolution

Gary B. Nash
Harvard University Press
1979

The long career of Gary B. Nash is an epitome of the committed social scientist: insatiable curiosity and diligent research, patient teaching, generous service. The Urban Crucible describes an American Revolution that was much more radical than anyone expected—when the common people shattered the rule of deference, reigned in the political privilege of elites, and legitimized the egalitarian principle.
