“Regan, a Tucson resident and journalist, writes with the ease of
one who is well versed with its people and issues, but The Death of Josseline
is not a ‘just the facts’ book that breaks down immigration policy.
Reagan also gets down and dirty with some good old fashioned journalism.”

The Pure Lover,
David Plante, September 2009, cloth, $23.00, 978-0-8070-7298-1
Lambda Literary; review posted yesterday:
"Plante has created a deep meditation on grief, love, and how one
cannot exist without the other. For those open to the intellectual and emotional
journeys Plante provides–and we should all be open to them–we
will not find an end to isolation but might find ways to lessen its impact
on us when we inevitably find ourselves in a similar position to his: lucky
to have loved yet immersed in loss, with fragments of memories almost all
that is left behind."

Nobody Turn Me Around, Charles Euchner, August 2010, cloth, $26.95, 978-0-8070-0059-5
“The most revealing and important treatment of human prejudice to appear
in years. Revolutionary insight follows revolutionary insight in this broadly
accessible book, accumulating to nothing less than a paradigm shift that will
change how we think about everything from how prejudice affects our own lives
to how laws and institutional practice can be used to reduce its ill effects.
And it does it all with a brevity that I hope will insure what it deserves most:
to be broadly read.”
—Claude M. Steele, author of Whistling Vivaldi: And Other Clues
to How Stereotypes Affect Us
