They Are Dead and Yet They Live
Review in Emerging Civil War:
“They Are Dead and Yet They Live extends our understanding of what we consider Civil War Memory, especially in a time in our nation’s history when Americans attempt to predict when the next one will happen. Kinder and Murray highlight that although the Civil War ended slavery and answered the question of secession, it had never resolved issues of equality and political division.”
Review in Jacobin:
“A new essay collection by Randolph Lewis chronicles how Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, an Apple campus, and scorched-earth MAGA capitalism killed Austin’s famous weirdness—and finds unexpected glimmers of hope even in big-box America.”
Review in Shepherd Express:
“Lewis refuses to go nostalgic for a nation whose aspirations often outran its reality, whose racism was hard baked. What is to be done? ‘Love they neighbor,’ he writes. Wield humor as a weapon.”
Review in H-Environment:
“Bremer offers a clear and reliable guide to the white Protestant encounter with Yellowstone and national parks more broadly.”
Review in H-Diplo:
“[This volume] marks the maturity of a historiography shaped by several generations of scholars who contributed to it despite numerous difficulties, a certain isolation, and even hostility from the academic world or majority society.”
James Cowles Prichard of the Red Lodge
Review in H-Sci-Med-Tech:
“[Margaret M. Crump] maintains a good humor with him, bringing out compassionately all of these constraints within which he worked, and allowing his real achievements—both to his own contemporaries and to posterity—to shine through.”
Review in H-Environment:
“For those interested in the politics of energy infrastructures, this pioneering study is a substantial contribution to the scholarship.”
Review in CHOICE:
“Born to Explore will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the US space program, NASA culture, and the technical achievements that first enabled humanity to explore the outer solar system . . . a fitting tribute to Casani.”
Mobilizing Hope, Fighting for Change
Review in CHOICE:
“Through qualitative and quantitative research methods, [Pahnke] details historical foundations and macro-level policies to provide a context for amplifying the voices of the ‘agrarian struggle’ of individual experiences, especially across race and ethnicity.”
Baseball in the Roaring Twenties
Review in CHOICE:
“Baseball fans will love this book.”
Review in Journal of Arizona History:
“There is much to learn from this book and its transnational methodology that reflects the various movements across the borderlands. Indeed, the scale of transnational research is particularly noteworthy.”
Review in H-Environment:
“Henry’s greatest service is returning these young men and their suffering to history, ensuring they are not forgotten.”
Review in Synapsis:
“Both those who have experienced something similar to Christman and those who have wondered whether something that evokes fear is still worth wanting and fighting for will find something to connect to in this memoir.”
