Read a Good Book Lately?

To read widely is to know a subject with more depth and from multiple perspectives. In addition to the traditional format of a reviewer writing about a single publication, we are introducing collective book reviews, one reviewer’s take on two or three books or media with a common theme.

At the professional level, a comparison of related books is often useful for practitioners and educators who must read widely but have little time.
