Sarah's review
of
A Practical Education: Why Liberal Arts Majors Make Great Employees:
"Stross's heart is in the right place, and his message that "liberal arts education is vocational" greatly needs to be heard. But, boy, was this poorly written, elitist, and infuriating. It's sad when the book trying to boost liberal education also re"

Brendan (History Nerds United)'s review
of
The Gunfighters: How Texas Made the West Wild:
"I think one of the hardest time periods to write about is the Wild West. Nearly every story it seems needs to end with a disclaimer saying, "At least that's what we think happened." An author needs to be able to present the truth while not forgetting"

| There's a lot to admire in Logevall's biography of John F. Kennedy. His account of the edgy interplay between the ambitious Kennedy brothers is compelling and very well-documented. His ability to connect the big events of the era to JFK's own journey ...more | |

| The best sections of this book really deserve six stars. These are the passages where Kostiantyn Koshelenko write candidly and bravely about what it's like to combine the ordinary stresses of high-tech business leadership -- and the harrowing realiti ...more | |
“What’s so poignant about this mismatch is that a winning campus-to-career alliance is within reach—if only the combatants could talk about their values, needs, and achievements in a shared language that makes sense to one another.
