A new crop of books has arrived and they need to be reviewed! We are now asking reviewers to complete their pieces within four months of receiving a copy of the book.  If you can write your review more quickly, that’s great, but if you don’t think you can manage to finish it in four months, please don’t volunteer.  We have a very very long list of book reviews that were promised but never completed. (You know who you are….. it’s not too late to turn it in!)  So, if you are interested in reviewing one of the books listed below, and think you can complete it on time, please contact Seth Messinger at seth.messinger.ctr@usuhs.edu.  Also, if you haven’t written for us before, please send along a brief writing sample.
