Purdue University Press announces new lineup of books

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University Press has announced 12 new books being produced as part of the fall and winter 2018-19 season.

The books, slated for publication from September through February, feature works in the subject areas of flight and space, library and information sciences, business and leadership, veterinary studies, global languages and literatures, literary criticism, Jewish studies and European history.

A revised and expanded paperback edition of “Calculated Risk: The Supersonic Life and Times of Gus Grissom,” will be one of the books released. The book on one of Purdue’s most well-known astronauts was described by the Wall Street Journal as “thrillingly told, taking the readers into the cosmos with Grissom, conveying the sense of wonder and danger that accompanied these early voyages.”
