Presentation of the book "A Candle in the Night" in Nevada

11/14/2007

A Candle in the Night will be presented by the University of Nevada Oral History Program and the Center for Basque Studies on Wednesday afternoon. Two events are also scheduled for the book's presentation.

The book chronicles the history of the Center for Basque Studies, as remembered by many of those who were most important in its foundation and development. It also offers much valuable information about the center’s offspring, including the Basque Studies Library (the main repository of information about all things Basque for the English-speaking world), the Basque Book Series of the University of Nevada Press (one of the most successful ethnic series published by an academic press in the United States), and the University Studies Abroad Consortium, (one of the largest programs of its kind in the world.) For more information visit the university's official web site about the book.

The book is published by the University of Nevada Oral History Program and edited by Pedro J. Oiarzabal.
