Omaha Beach On D-Day: June 6, 1944 With One Of The World's Iconic Photographers, Nicole Clark
Children's Book and Media Review
Equal parts graphic novel, biography, and photo book, Omaha Beach on D-Day tells the story of photographer Robert Capa’s experiences on D-Day. Capa, described by London’s Picture Post as “the greatest war photographer in the world,” was assigned to travel with a unit landing in France on the infamous morning of June 6, 1944. Determined to capture the horror and reality of the beach landing on film, Capa faced heavy gunfire, harsh weather conditions, and mass confusion. The nine remaining photographs from Capa’s experience became some of the most defining photographs of World War II.

A Boy, A Mouse, And A Spider: The Story Of E.B. White, Nicole Clark
Children's Book and Media Review
E.B. White is known for his beloved children’s stories. This lyrical picture book tells the story of the man behind them, and how his life events — from befriending a mouse while recovering from an illness as a child, to watching a spider spin in a corner of a barn — gave rise to the books we know and love. The mouse that White first met as a child and later encountered in a dream became Stuart Little, and White’s own farm experiences were the background for Charlotte’s Web.

Basketball's Greatest Stars: Russell Westbrook, Megan Hall
Children's Book and Media Review
As a five-foot-eight, 140-pound high school freshman, no one believed that Russell Westbrook had what it took to make it to the NBA. Growing up in Long Beach California, Westbrook did not receive much attention from college recruiters until the death of Westbrook’s friend Khelcey Barrs. Barrs’ death led Westbrook to work even hard in honor of his friend; his hard work paid off when he was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics in 2008. The Supersonics moved to Oklahoma City before Westbrook even played a game for them, and Westbrook has stayed with that team ever since. His speed and …

In 1753, no one had ever traveled from one country to another via hot air balloon— until British Dr. John Jeffries and Frenchman Jean-Pierre Blanchard determine to be the first. Their aerial adventure is filled with hangups, however, not the least of which is that the two men are rivals who try to thwart each other before the balloon even leaves the ground. More problems await them in the air, forcing them to set aside their differences and find a creative solution that will land them safely on French soil.

Big Machines: The Story Of Virginia Lee Burton, Haley Singleton
Children's Book and Media Review
Virginia Lee Burton, the well-known author and artist of the books Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel and The Little Engine that Could, dances across these pages as she illustrates images for her two sons, Aris and Michael. Burton’s artistic ability is the central focus of this book. It follows her illustrations as she uses her “magical wands” to create dinosaurs, horses, and, most importantly, machines. Her boys watch, enthralled as she brings machines to life in front of their eyes. Cable cars, crawler tractors, and trains all make an appearance.
Forging With Embers: The Life And Pre-Gubernatorial Career Of Isaac Murphy, 1799-1864, Keith Joshua Lee Todd
Forging With Embers: The Life And Pre-Gubernatorial Career Of Isaac Murphy, 1799-1864, Keith Joshua Lee Todd
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The gubernatorial administration of Isaac Murphy from 1864-1868, as Arkansas began emerging from the Civil War into Reconstruction, has had a thorough, if dated, examination in Arkansas historiography. However, Murphy’s life and pre-gubernatorial career, including his early political activities—being the first treasurer of Washington County, Arkansas (1836-1838), serving three terms in the Arkansas General Assembly (two in the House, 1846-1849, and one in the Senate, 1856-1857), and the totality of his action during both sessions of Arkansas’s Secession Convention (1861)—have been largely neglected. This thesis will additionally provide a biographical interpretation of Murphy necessary to fully understand his political actions—his …
Dorothy J. Jackson Fres Fls, Scottish Entomologist: A Bibliography, Jack R. Mclachlan
Dorothy J. Jackson Fres Fls, Scottish Entomologist: A Bibliography, Jack R. Mclachlan
Biology and Ecology Faculty Scholarship
Dorothy Jean Jackson FRES FLS (1892-1973) should be familiar to anyone interested in water beetles. She published prolifically on the ecology, distribution, flight capacity, and parasites of water beetles, and made especially important contributions to our knowledge of dytiscids. Here I provide a more extensive bibliography of her work that is almost certainly incomplete, but I think includes most of her scientific output between 1907 and 1973. Her first paper was published when she was 14 years old, and her last was completed by Jack Balfour-Browne and published posthumously.
