Baa Baa, Black Sheep
This memoir of the hard-fighting, hard-drinking World War II ace has never been out of print since it was first published in 1958. The 1970s TV series starring Robert Conrad was nothing like the real thing. |  | Brown, Marie-Annette
When Your Body Gets the Blues (with Jo Robinson)
This popular self-help book introduced women with mild depression to the simple and effective LEVITY program (Light, Exercise and Vitamin Intervention Therapy). Brown is a nursing professor and a primary-care provider at the UW’s Women’s Health Care Clinic. |  | Brownlee, Donald, ’71
Rare Earth (with Peter Ward)
Brownlee, a UW astronomer, and Ward, a UW paleontologist, contend that while simple life forms like bacteria may be widespread in the universe, advanced life forms are extraordinarily rare. “A powerful argument that the Earth is, in fact, extremely unusual.”—The Economist |  | Caletti, Deb, ’85
Honey, Baby, Sweetheart
A master of the young adult novel, Caletti tells the story of a teenage girl named Ruby and her troublesome crush—a wealthy, charismatic boy from up the block who also happens to be a jewelry thief. Honey, Baby, Sweetheart was a finalist for the 2004 National Book Award for young adult literature. |  | Calvin, William, ’66
A Brief History of the Mind: From Apes to Intellect and Beyond
How did human consciousness shift from the “here and now” to conceiving of “what if” and “why me”? “Calvin is a member of that rare breed of scientists who can translate the arcana of their fields into lay language, and he’s one of the best.”—New York Times |  | Caple, Jim, ’97
The Devil Wears Pinstripes
This former Daily editor, now a writer for ESPN.com, turns his wit on the Bronx Bombers in a hilarious skewering of a team that may have won 26 World Series—but also lost 13. “Righteous haters of the New York Yankees finally have our very own Bible.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer |  | Clark, Norman H., ’50, ’64
Mill Town: A Social History of Everett, Washington
At one time, Everett had the largest lumber mill in the world. Clark’s classic describes a frontier town trying to forge a community and how those efforts ended with the horrors of the 1916 Everett Massacre |  | Cleary, Beverly, ’39
Ramona Quimby, Age 8
The inimitable Ramona—perhaps the best-loved of all of Cleary’s characters—suffers through, and triumphs over, the indignities of third grade in this Newbery Honor Book. |  | Close, Chuck, ’62
The Portraits Speak: Chuck Close in Conversation with 27 of His Subjects
Chuck Close took portraiture to another level in the 1960s with his photorealist renderings of colleagues and friends. In this collection, he interviews 27 subjects, including Philip Glass, Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman, Roy Lichenstein and his own daughter, Georgia. |  | Cross, Charles, ’81
Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain remains a cipher, even to many of the people who knew him. In this meticulously researched biography, Cross soberly resists the myth-making impulse while still paying due tribute to the most important musician Seattle has produced since Jimi Hendrix—the subject of another Cross biography. |
