"An apt, alternative title for Mandel’s engaging and enlightening triple portrait could be "Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Avant-Garde?" Weaving together provocative insight and personal experience, he has found a layman-friendly way of explaining three of the most challenging and enduringly experimental icons of modern jazz—and it’s a way that leads right back to the music."
-Ashley Kahn, author of A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane’s Signature Album

"Howard Mandel has readily accepted the white man’s burden, that is, decoding the jazz avant-garde through the thoughtful, straightforward and in-depth analysis of three major figures. Personal yet scholarly, Howard lives the jazz life like he writes it—quite well."
-Nutch Myers, author of The Boy Who Cried Freebird: Rock & Roll Fables and Sonic Storytelling

"Howard Mandel approaches the vast musical imaginations of these three men with the immersed abandon with which a bird must approach air or a fish, water. At once insightfully critical and personal, Miles, Ornette, Cecil will be a wonderful read for anyone who likes books about serious music by serious writers."
-A. B. Spellman, poet and author of Four Jazz Lives (formally Four Lives in the Bebop Business)

’This book is welcome because it takes the common theme of the enforcement of the reformation in the two countries and sets a range of different experiences alongside each other... This volume nicely underlines the complexities of policy-making and implementation for the early modern State and Church and is a good and fitting tribute to Professor Richard L Greaves whose scholarship ranged widely over the British Isles and the entire period under survey.’ Journal of Ecclesiastical History  ’This is an excellent collection and raises a number of intriguing questions for further consideration.’ Sixteenth Century Journal  ’High scholarly standards are apparent in all the essays, to which incisiveness, rigour and freshness are added in varying degrees....The volume not only holds value for those whose primary interests lie with one or other country, which it does, but will be of particular benefit in bringing important work on Ireland and on Scotland to bear on wider questions of Reformation, broadly understood.’ English Historical Review

'The level of scholarship in this work is high... The argumentation is precise and thorough... The editor, Robert Bork, should be commended not only for bringing together a group of meticulously argued papers, but also for the quality of the book as a whole.  Numerous figures and images clarify the articles and inform the reader.  The copyediting is excellent; translations are written in clear style, and the thorough index is more than welcome.  These articles will be key for future research on the individual topics they treat and, in themselves, demonstrate the variety of ways that metal artifacts can be used as historical evidence.'

'... an excellent, well-informed introduction to the art and life of one of the most original personalities of the sixteenth century... Di Dio’s book deserves praise as a reliable and well-rounded introduction to the subject. Her pages on Leoni’s relationship to Stoicism are masterly, and her volume will remain essential reading for all those interested in the relationship between artists and patrons, collecting and display and word and image in the early modern period.' Burlington Magazine 
'Kelley Helmstutler Di Dio’s new book is a welcome addition to the limited existing bibliography on this important artist... The book is informed, enriched, and enlivened by the author’s extensive archival work, and Helmstutler Di Dio has skillfully woven the documentary references into her larger narrative.' Renaissance Quarterly 
'Di Dio's volume is the first book-length publication in English devoted to an important if somewhat neglected Italian Renaissance sculptor, Leone Leoni... Di Dio supports her case for a renewed appreciation of Leoni in a vigorous manner, with an impressive array of rare or unpublished mateirals.' Bibliothèque d’Humanisme et Renaissance 
'Di Dio’s detailed and thorough research makes this an important work of reference, and lends insight into early modern attitudes regarding the conception and status of the artist.' Biography 
'... concise and vivid narrative.' Kunst Chronik

“Paradise Tales includes one of the most powerful stories I’ve read in the last 10 years.”—New York Times“In the best of Ryman’s fiction, the world unfolds in ways that are at once astonishing and thoroughly thought out, both radically disorienting and emotionally powerful.”—Gary K. Wolfe, Locus“Often contemplative and subtly ironic, the 16 stories in this outstanding collection work imaginative riffs on a variety of fantasy and SF themes.... Readers of all stripes will appreciate these thoughtful tales.”—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
