A Bluebell for My Father: A Son’s Search for His Father's and His Own Life’s Meaning
In 1994, William Moore's father died in a hospital in England. Prioritizing work over family, William missed both his father's passing and the funeral, a choice that would haunt him for decades. Years later, the discovery of his father's travel journals catapulted him on a journey of a lifetime. Alone, William traveled through Scotland in a camper van, following his father's footsteps in a quest to discover his father's true identity and how it shaped both his father's life and his own. Haunted by the ghost of his father, William interweaves excerpts of his father's journals with family history and his own past in a journey of faith that he must take alone, trusting in God to guide him in his solitary quest for self-discovery and the true meaning of family.

Vital Relations
Relationality is a core principle of Indigenous studies, yet there is relatively little work that assesses what building relations looks like in practice, especially in the messy context of Native nations' governance. Focusing on the unique history and context of Osage nation building efforts, this insightful ethnography provides a deeper vision of the struggles Native nation leaders are currently facing. Exploring the Osage philosophy of moving to a new country as a framework for relational governance, Jean Dennison shows that for the Osage, nation building is an ongoing process of reworking colonial constraints to serve the nation's own ends. As Dennison argues, Osage officials have undertaken deliberate changes to strengthen Osage relations to their language, self-governance, health, and land—core needs for a people to thrive now and into the future. Scholars and future Indigenous leaders can learn from the Osage Nation's past challenges, strategies, and ongoing commitments to better enact the difficult work of Indigenous nation building.

How College Works
Constrained by shrinking budgets, can colleges do more to improve the quality of education? And can students get more out of college without paying higher tuition? Daniel Chambliss and Christopher Takacs conclude that limited resources need not diminish the undergraduate experience. How College Works reveals the decisive role that personal relationships play in determining a student's success, and puts forward a set of small, inexpensive interventions that yield substantial improvements in educational outcomes. At a liberal arts college in New York, the authors followed nearly one hundred students over eight years. The curricular and technological innovations beloved by administrators matter...
