The Peninsula College Press has just released the second volume of its digital journal, Discovery: A Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies.

Discovery, which was launched late last year, is the flagship publication of P.C. Press. It is a multimedia journal of academic and applied research, literary and artistic work, and provides a venue for exploring an array of topics across multiple disciplines and in a variety of media.

Volume 2 spotlights the varied work of five Peninsula College faculty and contains three articles, a musical composition and a photographic essay. Readers can access the new issue of Discovery on the college’s website at www.peninsulacollegepress.org/vol2.html.

The articles, which address art, history and the media, include “The Body as Metaphor in Contemporary Cuban Women’s Art” by Reina Barreto, Ph.D; “The Moral Compass of Broadcast Pioneer Edward R. Murrow,” by Rich Riski, M.A.; and “Núñez Gaona: The Bricks, the Village, and the Fort,” by Michael Cassella-Blackburn, Ph.D.

The original musical piece, entitled “Man in the Mirror,” was composed by Elaine Gardner-Morales, M.M. It is performed by the 2014 Peninsula College Vocal Jazz Ensemble

The photography section of the journal features the work of Eduardo Jaramillo, Ph.D. In a photo essay entitled “Winter City,” Jaramillo captures an abandoned U.S. military installation, hoping others will experience the abandonment through his photos and be reminded of the cost and resources that once kept such military facilities vibrant.
