In commemoration of AUB's centennial, the June 1967 symposium, “Food for the Man of Tomorrow" was organized, resulting in this collection of symposium papers by educators, researchers, sociologists, economists, nutritionists, and others actively involved with the problems of food production in the region. The participants were tasked with creating an inventory of techniques used in different parts of the world for improving the quantity and quality of food for man, and to compare and contrast these with work then current in the Middle East. The fifty articles herein are grouped under five sections: agricultural economics, animal production and protection, soil and irrigation, crop production and protection, and food technology and nutrition.

A collection of postcards depicting iconic views of both the AUB campus and Lebanon selected from the Moore Collection. Locations include: 1- Afka, Nahr Ibrahim. 2- Arched window view in Douma. 3- College Hall and lower campus. 4- College Hall from the northwest. 5- Lee Observatory from northwest of Bliss Hall. 6- Maseilha Castle. 7- SPC Medical Gate and Bliss Street. 8- View of Ain Mreisseh area from College Hall tower.

This unique photographic compilation, taken from long-forgotten glass plates, depicts scenes from Lebanon, Syria, and AUB in the late nineteenth and very early twentieth centuries, when Dr. Franklin T. Moore taught at the Syrian Protestant College (now the American University of Beirut). Moore's camera captured the seemingly vast size of the new campus, the undeveloped northeastern mountains, and an unpaved Bliss Street, in sharp contrast to the growth and changes that have taken place since then.

This tree key is a companion to the book Trees of Lebanon. Published by the Nature Conservation Center at the American University of Beirut, 2014.

"بدأت فكرة الرحلة من نقطة انطلاق شخصيّة أساسها استعادة تجربة نزهة في القطار القديم الذي كان ينطلق من محطّة الحجاز في وسط دمشق الى محطّته النهائيّة في "وادي سرغايا" و"عين حور" بعد مدينة "الزبداني" جنوب شرق العاصمة السوريّة.وفي اطار مقرّر تعليمي تقدّمت به عن الشريط المصوّر البديل، في قسم الهندسة والتصميم لدى الجامعة الأميركيّة في بيروت، كان يمكن لهذه الرحلة أن تقدّم مجموعة تجارب فرديّة للطلّاب المشاركين فيها ذهنيّاّ وجسديّاً، وتغني النتاج الغرافيكي الذي يصدر عنها: رحلة تفتح مساحات النقاشات لما تتضمّنه من سرد قصصيّ لوقائع مُعاشة بكل التفاصيل والأحاسيس: اغناء التجربة البصريّة أمام المدى الريفي ومناظره، اكتشاف القطار القديم بمقطوراته ومقاعده الخشبيّة وزخرفاته الشعبيّة، رائحة الأشجار وعبق دخانه، تنوّع محطّاته وسككه، والأهمّ معايشة أهله ورواياتهم." ​

“Each tree in this book is presented as a local story constructed from the scientific, historical, cultural, and mythical information. Beautiful watercolors, based on photographs taken in the forest, illustrate the specific features of each tree: its silhouette, leaves, flowers, fruits, and bark. Information on how to grow trees from seed encourages people to engage in tree planting, and to support forest and woodland conversation. The book is eclectic- a varied collection that is meant to build appreciation for the native forest trees of Lebanon. Proceeds from the sales of this book will go to the Ana Shajra AUB-NCC tree planting program of the AUB Nature Conservation Center."​
