Description: |
What`s your brain temperature? And why does it matter? Come hear Dr. Laura McIlvoy of the IUS School of Nursing talk about her research on the impact of brain temperature on the body.

Friday, Dec. 14, we'll have our last OPEN BOOKS session of the semester, in LB230 at noon. We're discussing Three Cups of Tea, an unusual book which appears to be on its way to becoming a best-seller. It's the story of a very interesting, and probably neurotic, American mountain-climber who has become a hero in the rural mountainous areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan by building village schools. Greg Mortenson has gradually become a very important person both in those countries and in the U.S., and this book presents an account of that. Come join us!
Facebook, MySpace, Mojo, Second Life—how are these interactive social networking sites changing the way we communicate? How do they affect the academic community, and the way we do research? Maria Accardi, Instruction Librarian and social network aficionada, discusses these issues in our January A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE… presentation on Tuesday, January 29, at 12:15pm in the Library, LB230. Come and find out what those mesmerized students in the back of the room are doing with their cellphones and laptops!!!
Everyone is welcome, and feel free to bring your lunch.
Time for another semester of lively book discussions! All of the sessions are held in LB230 in the Library on the second Friday of each month, from 12:15-1 or until people stop talking!

FEBRUARY: Just how do you go about writing a successful novel? Virginia Anderson, an IU Southeast English professor, has published several novels and has just completed a new one called "The Drowned Man," a work which combines elements of mystery and mysticism with a searing psychological study of toxic parenthood. Join us as Dr. Anderson reads from this work, and discusses and answers questions about the PROCESS of writing and publishing a novel. Feb. 19, 12:15 pm, LB 230. Everyone is wecome.
MARCH: While torture is universally condemned, it seems to persist in the world. Are there ever times when torture is justified? Does torture actually work for any good end? While most of us have strong, even passionate responses to these questions, we can all benefit from an objective look at the evidence from scientific research. Join Dr. Bill Ferrell of the IUS Criminal Justice Department as he discusses "Torture and Enemy Combatants" from a research perspective. Thursday, March 22, 12:20pm, in LB230. Everyone is welcome.
APRIL: Fourteen years ago, IU Southeast psychology professor Dr. Diane Wille visited and collected information from a group of new mothers and their infants, with an eye to studying attachment processes. Fourteen years later, she is still visiting and keeping track of the same group, with 14 years of data to theorize about. The infants Dr. Wille visited in 1993 are now teenagers!

FEB: OPEN BOOKS, the IU Southeast Library`s campus/community book discussion group, will be discussing Stephen King`s most recent novel, Lisey`s Story, which has been widely praised by critics. While this novel is less sensational and more literary than any of King`s previous works, this story of a marriage is embellished with some of King`s usual devices. Come join us as we discuss this book--everyone is welcome. LB230, Friday, Feb. 9, 12 noon.
MARCH: IU Southeast Library`s campus/community book discussion group will meet March 9, 2007, to discuss Louisville author Mary Welp`s novel of politics, love, and marriage--with the author! Mary Welp has agreed to come to the session to talk about the book, The Triangle Pose, answer questions, and most of all, to hear our thoughts about her novel, which happens to take place in Louisville. This is definitely not a "local" story however; Welp deals with universal issues (marriage, children, adultery, friendship) with insight and dead-on humor. Join us for this special session! Everyone is welcome. March 9, 12 noon, LB230.
APRIL: OPEN BOOKS, the IU Southeast Library`s campus-community book discussion group, will meet on Friday, April 13, to discuss Australian psychologist Cordelia Fine`s book about how the brain really works, A Mind of Its Own . If you think your conscious mind is in charge of your life, think again! Fine discusses research which shows how the subconscious mind controls our actions and even our thoughts, and she does it in a breezy and entertaining style. While this is certainly not a scholarly work, it does present the research in a responsible way. Join us for a discussion of this very current topic in LB230, Friday, Apr. 13, 12noon. Everyone is welcome!
The IU Southeast Library is hosting an exhibit of original and first edition historical documents from the Remnant Trust, a public educational foundation headquartered in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
