Coach Jack: The Life and Times of Carleton's Jack Thurnblad

by David G. Lavender

Read the new book about one of Carleton's most beloved coaches and alums!
"Jack and Jinny Thurnblad are a great Carleton story spanning remarkably different eras in the College's history from the 1940s to the present day. Campus leaders as students, 'glue' in the alumni body for fifty-five years, respected and effective coach from 1960 to 1984, ambassadors to Northfield, to collegiate athletics, and to young athletes outside the U.S. — what joy they have given to all who have known them. This thoroughly researched and well written account of their lives by Dave Lavender is a welcome addition to Carleton's historical record."
— Stephen R. Lewis, Jr., Carleton's ninth president
$21.95

The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir
by Kao Kalia Yang '03

2008. In search of a place to call home, thousands of Hmong families made the journey from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee camps of Thailand and onward to America. But lacking a written language of their own, the Hmong experience has been primarily recorded by others. Driven to tell her family's story after her grandmother's death, The Latehomecomer is Kao Kalia Yang's tribute to the remarkable woman whose spirit held them all together. It is also an eloquent, firsthand account of a people who have worked hard to make their voices heard.
Paperback. $14.95

In Full Circle: The Japanese-Style Garden As a Work of Art in Progress, by Paul Krause
In Full Circle features Carleton's renowned "Garden of
Quiet Listening." Recognized as one of the top ten Japanese style gardens outside of Japan, the garden exemplifies the best practices and principles of design and maintenance. The video not only explores how these time honored principles find expression in the Carleton garden but the process by which the garden was created and has evolved since 1974. Included on the DVD is a lecture on the principles of Japanese style garden design given recently at Carleton by David Slawson, the garden's eminent designer. This engaging video will appeal to both the seasoned professional and the amateur gardener as well. Produced by Bardwell Smith.
