Over the course of its seven-year run, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
cultivated a loyal fandom and featured a strong, complex female
lead, at a time when such a character was a rarity. Evan Ross Katz
explores the show's cultural relevance through a book that is part
oral history, part celebration, and part memoir of a personal
fandom that has universal resonance still, decades later. Katz-with
the help of the show's cast, creators, and crew-reveals that
although Buffy contributed to important conversations about gender,
sexuality, and feminism, it was not free of internal strife,
controversy, and shortcomings. Men-both on screen and off-would
taint the show's reputation as a feminist masterpiece, and changing
networks, amongst other factors, would drastically alter the show's
tone. Katz addresses these issues and more, including interviews
with stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charisma Carpenter, Emma
Caulfield, Amber Benson, James Marsters, Anthony Stewart Head, Seth
Green, Marc Blucas, Nicholas Brendon, Danny Strong, Tom Lenk,
Bianca Lawson, Julie Benz, Clare Kramer, K. Todd Freeman, Sharon
Ferguson; and writers Douglas Petrie, Jane Espenson, and Drew Z.
Greenberg; as well as conversations with Buffy fanatics and friends
of the cast including Stacey Abrams, Cynthia Erivo, Lee Pace,
Claire Saffitz, Tavi Gevinson, and Selma Blair. Into Every
Generation a Slayer Is Born engages with the very notion of fandom,
and the ways a show like Buffy can influence not only how we see
the world but how we exist within it.

Food critic turned farmer and sustainable seafood activist Matthew
Evans, along with his two best chef mates, shows us how seafood
should be cooked. Simple recipes that demystify everything from
abalone to sea urchin, snapper to octopus, as well as inspiration
if you want to catch your own dinner rather than head to the
fishmongers. This is all about the taste of real food fresh from
the sea, cooked with care and respect for the seafood populations
in your part of the world.
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.
