“Wallace Stegner’s Unsettled Country does good work in illustrating the contemporary West in all its nuance through the lens of Stegner, and should have broad, interdisciplinary appeal among historians, literary and cultural studies scholars, and social scientists working in the region. My hope is that readers will find in this book a new map with which to explore a changing geography of hope in the American West, one which makes its possibilities all the more real.”

The Korean War Remembered

Review in H-Diplo:

“Devine’s work offers a comprehensive, engaging exploration into how the nations that were involved in the Korean War have constructed and exploited the collective memories of the conflict to influence national identities and policies. This well-researched book is highly recommended for early career researchers, policymakers who deal with the legacies of the Korean War, and anyone who is interested in the interplay of memory and history.”

Big Cat

Review in Missouri Historical Review:

“Big Cat reflects an impressive research effort by Grillo, who mined scores of contemporary newspaper articles and secondary sources to illuminate Mize’s playing days.”

The Wee Ice Mon Cometh

Review in Sports Book Guy Blog:

“The descriptions of Hogan’s shots, his demeanor on the course and even the agony of his competitors was all captured in a manner that puts the reader right in the gallery.”

Review in Book Reporter:

“The Wee Ice Mon Cometh accurately portrays an important but often overlooked athletic accomplishment in magnificent fashion. It is a wonderful addition to any sports library.”

A Different Trek

Review in H-War:

“A Different Trek: Radical Geographies of Deep Space Nine is at once guided practice in the work of cultural geography and literary interpretation, a fascinating synthesis of multiple academic disciplines, and a labor of love from a Trekkie about an underappreciated program that can seem almost prophetic three decades after it began airing.”

As Long as the Earth Endures

Review in H-Environment:

“The book is a massive contribution, a tour de force of cultural history and reawakening. It will be indispensable for community and scholarly audiences alike.”

The Imperial Gridiron

Review in Tribal College Journal:

“While those who have studied boarding schools will not be surprised by the success of Carlisle’s lauded athletes or the shameful horrors of its instruction, Bentley and Bloom offer readers a rhetorical means to critique both the mission and methodology that drove the school whose name is now synonymous with generational trauma.”
