New Books PC to RG

We now have a book for Bilingual (English and Spanish) kids which may help our ECE students better communicate with their students.

We also got The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 Nice compact set. Although there is no year, which is weird. They are not brand new and they look in extraordinarily good shape, but I wish I knew the year. They have the old style ragged cut edges. Anyway, they were published posthumously, we can all be sure.

One of our professors from Mendicino County took a sabbatical to write a book and we have a pre-publication copy in reference and one in general circulation as well. It is called The Explorer's Guide to The Natural World of Mendicino County. Now we just need to convince someone to do the same thing for Del Norte County. That would be so cool. Any volunteers?

Medicine Women is a book filled with photographs and biographies of women involved with medicine from Greek and Roman times through the modern age. Not inclusive by any means, as it is fewer than 100 women, but it is interesting how medicine and the women who practiced it have changed over the centuries.

Finally we got the Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth by Shelia Kitzinger. We did not have any books on this subject from the last couple decades, so I thought it time to get some updated information for our pregnant students as well as our CNA and LVN students.
