From a Swedish hotel made of ice to the enigma of UFOs, from a tragedy on Lake Minnetonka to the gold mine of cyberpornography, "The Princeton Reader" brings together more than 90 favorite essays by 75 distinguished writers. This collection of nonfiction pieces by journalists who have held the Ferris/McGraw/Robbins professorships at Princeton University offers a feast of ideas, emotions, and experiences--political and personal, light-hearted and comic, serious and controversial--for anyone to dip into, contemplate, and enjoy.

The volume includes a plethora of topics from the environment, terrorism, education, sports, politics, and music to profiles of memorable figures and riveting stories of survival. These important essays reflect the high-quality work found in today's major newspapers, magazines, broadcast media, and websites. The book's contributors include such outstanding writers as Ken Armstrong of the "Seattle Times"; Jill Abramson, Jim Dwyer, and Walt Bogdanich of the "New York Times"; Evan Thomas of "Newsweek"; Joel Achenbach and Marc Fisher of the "Washington Post"; Nancy Gibbs of "Time"; and Jane Mayer, John McPhee, John Seabrook, and Alex Ross of the "New Yorker."

The perfect collection for anyone who enjoys compelling narratives, "The Princeton Reader" contains a depth and breadth of nonfiction that will inspire, provoke, and endure.
