Rachel Richesson, associate professor, recently had a book she co-edited entitled "Clinical Research Informatics" featured in a Duke Today article entitled "Spring Books: Adventures in Artificial Intelligence, Peruvian Guerrillas, Snow Leopards and More."

This spring, Duke authors have unusual stories to tell: The sublime but endangered snow leopard in Afghanistan; a Maoist group striking terror throughout Peru in the 1980s; a Togolese fixer who assists those with dreams of escaping poverty through a US visa.

Below, we offer a roundup of titles worthy of attention.

Many of the books, including new editions of previous titles, can be found on the "Duke Authors" display shelves near the circulation desk in Perkins Library. Some are available as e-books for quick download. Most can also be purchased through the Gothic Bookshop.
