New Books: April 2011

Yes, that's right--I'm a month late in posting the April 2011 New Books list.  If you've been following along, you would have noticed that I always post the new books list as soon as the month ends, which means that I should have posted the April 2011 New Books on May 1, not June 1!  The end of the semester wrapped up so quickly that I forgot entirely.  Without further ado, highlights from new books from April 2011!  Remember that you can check out any of these books (unless someone else does, first), and request that I purchase any new books that you'd like to see on these lists!
