Slate; Tushnet’s book cited in piece on court reporting; posted on
April 15th
“Several readers call for more reporting about the atmospherics at court
during oral argument. Harvard Law School's Mark Tushnet, whose book, I Dissent,
is forthcoming, includes among his great suggestions “giving readers a
take on the tone of argument without over predicting outcomes from that tone.””—Dahlia
Lithwick
“With her “observing eye” and boundless curiosity, LeVine describes
how witchcraft, Buddhism, spirit possession, charismatic Christianity and the
Virgin Mary help people make sense of their lives and endure the hardships they
encounter. Vivid descriptions and sympathetic portraits are this book’s
strengths. . .”

Beacon Acquisitions:
We have acquired a fascinating new book by journalist Fran Hawthorne
entitled WHAT'S A GOOD LIBERAL TO DO?: Shopping, Investing, Voting, and Other
Daily Dilemmas in the Age of Political Awareness. In this lively book, Hawthorne
will define the confusing pressures bearing down on politically concerned consumers,
dig into the sources of these pressures, and provide guidance to help liberal
activists find their way through this minefield. Conversational in tone with
Hawthorne offering her own opinions where appropriate as well as decisions from
a variety of others, from store managers to everyday consumers, the book will
replicate and enhance the conversations already happening across the country.
We will publish on our Fall 2009 list.
