Teaching Associate Professor Paula Farca (LAIS) has published “Essays on Energy and Its Social and Environmental Implications in Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Literary Texts.” The book shows the connections in 20th and 21st century literary texts between energy, society and environment. The edited volume includes a substantial introduction, poems on energy, eighteen critical essays from international contributors, and a photo essay. Other LAIS colleagues also contributed to the book: Toni Lefton contributed three poems: Winter Tulip, Top Kill, and Make Believe; and Sarah Hitt wrote a chapter entitled "Mining in Contemporary Indigenous Literature.”
