As part of Harvard Book Store's ongoing effort to provide the best and most varied selection of titles to our customers, we have recently reorganized our store to make room for up-and-coming areas of interest. Both our staff and buyers keep their eyes open and ears perked for titles to stock our new sections.

Megan Thomas and Allen Hurley have subdivided our formerly sprawling Science section into five new sections. Look in the Biology section for books like The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins and The Evolution Explosion by Stephen Palumbi; the Medicine section has Natalie Angier's Natural Obsessions and Biography of a Germ by Arlo Karlen; Physics and Chemistry has The Physics of Immortality by Frank Tipler; and Astronomy and Earth Science features Chet Raymo's The Night Sky.

Our Sociology section has also been expanded to take into account two new growing fields of interest. Brad Jones stocks our Race and Ethnic Studies and Urban Studies sections with classics like Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities, new titles like One Drop of Blood by Scott Malcomson and Home Town by Tracy Kidder, as well as books with a lighter edge, like Too Good to be True: The Colossal Book of Urban Legends by Jan Harold Brunvand.

Bookseller Christine Day made room in our Education section for a Higher Education subdivision, where you can find new titles like The Shape of the River: Long Term Consequences of Considering Race in College and University Admissions by William Bowen and Derek Bok, Who Owns Academic Work? Battling for Control of Intellectual Property by Corynne McSherry, and the popular Chicago Guide to Your Academic Career by John Goldsmith.

Our new Food section is maintained by Amanda Darling and includes new titles like Golden Arches East by James Watson, A Cook's Tour: In Search of the Perfect Meal by Anthony Bourdain and Coming Home to Eat: The Pleasure and Politics of Local Foods by Gary Nabhan, classic food texts by authors such as John Thorne, Elizabeth David, M.F.K. Fisher and James Beard, as well as humorous books like The Gallery of Regrettable Food: Highlights from Classic American Recipe Books by James Lileks.

Amanda also stocks the new Sex and Erotica section which has erotica such as Zaftig: Well-Rounded Erotica by Hanne Blank, helpful guides like the New Vibrations Guide to Sex: How to Have Fun, Safe Sex by Cathy Winks and lighthearted how-to's like Lesbian Sex Secrets for Men: What Every Man Wants to Know About Making Love to a Woman and Never Asks by Amy Jo Goddard.

Some of those books came out of our expanded Gay and Lesbian/Gender Studies section, maintained by Molly Seamans, conveniently located next to our Women's Studies section. Here you can find new and interesting titles like A Mind of Its Own: A Cultural History of the Penis by David Friedman, Did You Hear about the Girl Who...? Contemporary Legends, Folklore, and Human Sexuality by Marianne Whatley, and Selling Out: The Gay and Lesbian Movement Goes to Market by Alexandra Chasin.
