    Lovers of America's greatest game once again have the chance to spend time in the compassionate, funny, and oh-so-humane presence of author Marty Slattery with this new publication of his novel Diamonds Are Trumps. Through his character Bill Mahoney, Slattery shares his personal knowledge of the game (he pitched in the minor leagues) and his consuming passion for its players. With bone chips in his elbow that make his arm hurt all the way up to his ear, and scars on his middle-aged soul, Mahoney is something of a wounded knight errant. But when the umpire yells "e;Play ball!"e; Bill rises to dance to baseball's perpetual melody. Emotionally hollow and growing more passive with each birthday, Bill is skidding through his life, aching from lost loves and unfulfilled hopes. But the Dream is not done with him yet, and gradually, Bill understands the gifts the game can give him. In this 2008 publication of Diamonds Are Trumps-with a new introduction by Dr. James P. Elliott-author Marty Slattery gives his readers the gift of a funny, poignant, and lyrical novel about baseball as it's played in the minor leagues and life as it's played beyond the dugout.

    The celebration of the 40th anniversary of coeducation at Dartmouth provided an ideal opportunity to issue the seventh edition of The Dartmouth Songbook. This new edition documents in print for the first time the modern four-part arrangements for the richer tonal palette of combined men and women's voices. Beginning in the late 1970s, the Dartmouth songs underwent sweeping changes with the addition of women's voices - some purely musical, others focusing on more inclusive lyrics. These songs celebrate the emotional and enduring connection that all members of the Dartmouth family have with one another and to the institution. We offer this latest edition of The Dartmouth Songbook as testimony to Dartmouth's ability to combine its storied past with its ever-evolving present. We hope that you will treasure these powerfully evocative songs as much as we do.
