| Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  The Other Dr. Gilmer: Two Men, a Murder, and an Unlikely Fight for Justice, by Benjamin Gilmer, is one of this week's starred law & crime titles. "A haunting, insightful story of justice and humanity. Will especially resonate with readers of Christine Montross’s Waiting for an Echo: The Madness of American Incarceration." Also in law & crime, Dan Canon's Pleading Out: How Plea Bargaining Creates a Permanent Criminal Class is another starred selection. "Written clearly and persuasively, with compassion and expertise, Canon’s work is an essential read, especially for those who interact with or are interested in policing, incarceration, and the justice system." Funny Farm: My Unexpected Life with 600 Rescue Animals, by Laurie Zaleski, is this week's starred sciences title. "Readers will be inspired to visit virtually (or maybe even in person!) the animals they read about, like Emily the emu and Cowboy the goat. Zaleski’s animal stories are immensely relatable and often told with the mix of empathy, outrage, humor, and steady resolve that is familiar to seasoned animal rescuers." See All Reviews››› |
