A Life Among Fishes: The Art of Gyotaku
Christopher M. Dewees, UC Davis-based Cooperative Extension marine fisheries specialist emeritus, combines his career and recent stories and poems, with his 50 years of Japanese fish printing (“gyotaku”), in a volume that he says should be of interest to scientists as well as artists. He links his writing to his art, creating what the publisher describes as “a balance of narrative and aesthetic fluidity.” (Goff Books/Oct. 15, 2017)
Freedom Without Justice: The Prison Memoirs of Chol Soo Lee
A Korean immigrant writes of his wrongful imprisonment (life sentence for murder) and his years of survival in prison, while political activists fought to win his freedom (he was released from San Quentin in 1983) — a story previously told in TV movies and a Hollywood film, but now told for the first time in full by Lee himself, in this volume edited by Richard S. Kim, department chair and associate professor, Asian American studies. (University of Hawaii Press/June 2017)

Bradley, professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, co-edited the second edition of this volume, written in Spanish (with a title that translates to Contemporary Generative Phonology of the Spanish Language) and contributed a new chapter, “Fonología de laboratorio” (“Laboratory Phonology”).
