Barack Obama: The New Face of American Politics
by Martin Dupuis & Keith Boeckelman, Greenwood Publishing Group, 2008
At the beginning of 2004, Barack Obama was an almost unknown Illinois state legislator and a candidate for the U.S. Senate. The roots of President-elect Obama's politics and presidential campaign strategy are traced in this detailed political biography, ascending from his successful run in 1996 to represent Chicago's South Side in the Illinois Senate, through his partial term as the junior U.S. senator from Illinois beginning in 2004, to his campaign for the presidency.
Although not yet a part of the UCF NetLibrary eBook collection, Barack Obama: The New Face of American Politics will be available with free, unlimited access November 1-30, 2008. The November eBook of the Month is provided through the generous support of Greenwood Publishing Group. To read, click on NetLibrary on the UCF Libraries list of databases at http://library.ucf.edu/Databases/
Thank you for notifying the student body and I congratulate those who help select the book, the authors who help to make it possible and President (elect) Barack Obama for such profound and distinguished accomplishments of service, significance and Leadership. I was not completely aware of the Book being chosen as the E-book of the month; it is commended. Furthermore, I have not read it yet but will certainly look into doing so. Thank you quite much. God Bless, Merry Christmas and have an Insightful/Peaceful New year. (question who actually gets to chose the e-book of the month?)
Sincerely,
Thank you for your comments on the NetLibrary ebook of the month. NetLibrary chooses to promote an ebook from their collection each month to promote the use of the collection. So the library does not choose the title; NetLibrary chooses the title.
The library does not own this particular title, so it is only available to be read during the month of December.
The UCF Libraries owns over 40,000 NetLibrary ebooks, and so the ebook of the month is often noted in the News to promote their use. ebooks are still unfamiliar to some, and this is simply an opportunity to point out their availability to the UCF community.
Wishing you a 2009 filled with good reading!
