Newly Added Editions Stock West Library
The library at Maine West is quite well stocked with books and is constantly being improved by the addition of new ones. Many students, however, are not aware of the interesting books which have recently been added.

Of particular interest to many is a new book by William L. Shirer called The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, a Book-ofthe-Month club selection last November, which describes the history of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. This is a 1200-page account, by the author of Berlin Diary, based on personal observation as well as years of study of German documents.

Another interesting addition is a set called Great Books of the Western World published by Encyclopedia Britannica in collaboration with the Universityof Chicago; This set, which not on the shelves as it is still being processed, contains 54 volumes of works by some of the most famous philosophers that ever lived.

The index or "key" to the set is in the two-volume Syntopicon. With this index, a student may look up an idea and find what many of the great philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Freud, Darwin, etc. had to say.
 A student who wants to do a critique on communism, for example, will be able to read Das Kapital by Karl Marx, which is not to be found anywhere else in our library. The set also includes great literature by Shakespeare, Dante, Chaucer, Milton, etc.

Other books picked at random from a list of new additions are The Encyclopedia of Food by Peter Smith; A Literary History of England edited by Albert C. Baugh; and Divided We Fought, a pictorial history of the Civil War by David Donald.

Also The Human Mind by Karl A. Menninger; Psychology and Life by Floyd Leon Ruch; You Learn By Living by Eleanor Roosevelt; History of Bigotry in the United States by Gustavus Myers; The Story of Religion in America by William Warren Sweet.

And American Furniture, Queen Anne and Chippendale Periods in the Henry Francis Du Pont Winterthur Museum by Joseph Downs; Elementary Economics by J. A. Nordin and Virgil Salera; Introduction to Economics by Theodore Morgan; An Introduction to Economic Reasoning by Marshall A. Robinson, Herbert C. Morton, and James D. Calderwood; and America Challenged by William O. Douglas.
