Review in Civil War Books and Authors Blog:
“Written in a style appealing to popular audiences while also possessing the full trappings of modern historical scholarship, Brian McGinty’s informative survey of the many Civil War-era connections between the Golden State and the nation’s 16th president effectively combines content and approachability. Along the way, Lincoln and California also appropriately highlights more generally the state’s significant contributions to Union victory.”
“Minick calls for ‘stronger, generous communities to help others when they struggle,’ writing that ‘any path through the climate crisis will not be easy because the upheaval will be — and already is — great.’ Without Warning thus becomes more than a fascinating and emotional read: It offers a guide for enduring disasters yet to come.”
Review in Hispanic American Historical Review:
“In sum, In Praise of the Ancestors is a cri de coeur for historical difference, an exciting call for scholars to attend to temporalities more communal than individual and irreproducible—that in the case of the Incas none the less made the historical rule.”
Review in Association of Jewish Libraries:
“Judaism and Its Bible is a well written introductory work about the Bible and its relationship to the Jewish people and Judaism. This title is recommended for all libraries.”
Review from Critical Studies in Television:
“Overall, this book provides an exhaustive and detailed overview on a genre which moved sports TV from a mass perspective to engage new audiences in exploring sport’s ‘importance in social, historical and geographical context’ (Johnson 2021: 93). With its broad look at different examples from creative, aesthetic, industrial and geographical points of view, Sporting Realities aims to be a reference point in sports and television studies more generally by offering an anthology on the cultural dynamics of memory and sport’s representation within contemporary audiovisual systems.”
Review in Association of Jewish Libraries:
“Rabbi Schwartz’s ambitious book succeeds in pointing out how divergent opinions, dissent and debate have shaped Jewish thought. Furthermore, Rabbi Schwartz demonstrates the vast pluralism within Jewish tradition and argues persuasively that such pluralism strengthens Judaism rather than weakens it. This ethical, humanist, and inclusive book is highly recommended for those seeking to understand different, and yet authentic, approaches to Judaism.”
Review from Sweet Lit:
“We cannot escape the darkness. But in Let Me Count the Ways, Tomás Q. Morín shows we can find the light that lies within it.”
Review in Association of Jewish Libraries:
“Perfect addition to any poetry collections as well as collections with Jewish story and or joke anthologies.”
Review in Religious Studies Review:
“Westman’s detailed research shows how even more conservative expressions of indigenized Christianity maintain continuity of expression with their previous worldviews and lifeways, even while gospel transformations inevitably interact with and alter cultural practices.”
