Author, author!
Each year, as part of their commitment to teaching, research, and service, about two dozen faculty members at the University write books.  Topics range from children’s stories and works of fiction to dictionaries and histories, with a selection of textbooks and scholarly studies. 

The largest?  The trilingual Seri-Spanish-English Dictionary, at 943 pages.  The most colorful?  A children’s book in which a Norwegian troll meets a trickster from American Indian folklore on the North Dakota prairie.  Read on to see what UND faculty have been writing over the past year.
