UCI Libraries Newsletter, Fall 2007

The Libraries’ need for more specialized books and references is constantly expanding. Our collections would greatly benefit from the acquisition of the items listed below. If you would like to contribute, or if you would like more information on how you can help, contact the Library Development Office at 949.824.4651.

Icons of the American West: From Cowgirls to Silicon Valley. $175.
The American West is rich in lore, cultural roots, and iconic images. This lively two-volume set presents the stories of some of the most influential and representative Western icons. This accessible treatment of the untamed enterprise of the ‘Old West’--including cowboys, wild west shows, and gun battles--and the continued entrepreneurial imagination of the paradisical ‘New West’--including environmentalists and the incorporation of national parks--elevates the reader’s understanding of oft-romanticized subjects and the conflicts and cultural changes that made them icons.
Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Critical Perspectives on the World Economy). $1,390.
This new major work from Routledge is a five-volume collection which covers the origins and history of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-Operation forum (APEC), its achievements and the impact it has had—and continues to have—on international relations and economic cooperation in general.
