Faculty Bookshelf
The College of Charleston boasts a vigorous, accomplished faculty. One measure of this exists in the extensive list of publications by members of the faculty. The following titles are representative, and these only include books written or edited by College of Charleston professors in the past dozen years. This list does not include the many works published in magazines and scholarly journals, nor the many papers presented at symposia and conferences:
