Dava Sobel
Each
year, a text is selected for the entire incoming class to read as part
of the First Year Reading Program. Through a variety of events and activities–including
a visit by the author–incoming freshmen will have the opportunity
to explore this book with their peers, instructors, and the broader campus
community.
This year's required reading for incoming Stony Brook undergrads is Dava Sobel's Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time , now in its twenty-ninth hardcover printing. It has been translated into two dozen foreign languages and has become a national and international bestseller. Longitude has been awarded the Harold D. Vursell Memorial Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and "Book of the Year" in England.
Freshmen will receive their copies of the text at their 101 seminars during the first week of classes. If you are a new Transfer student using the text in your WRT101/102 or other class, your course instructor will provide you with a copy.
Students will meet the author when she comes to campus on Wednesday, October 18, 2006, for the annual Undergraduate College Commons Day. More details on this event will be given to you when you arrive for Experience Stony Brook on August 25.
