&ldquo;Touching and at times jaw-dropping. . . . An evocative record of unusual lives and loves [that] spanned continents and left their mark on subsequent generations.&rdquo; &mdash;The&#160;Washington Post&ldquo;Beautifully rendered. . . . All memoirs are, by definition, collections of the past, but few interrogate it quite like Kathryn Harrison&rsquo;s&#160;On Sunset.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Times&ldquo;On Sunset is Harrison&rsquo;s gentlest inquiry into the particular foreign country that is her past. . . . The glittering riches of Harrison&rsquo;s childhood [are] her most precious inheritance.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review &#160; &ldquo;Stunning. . . . This is Kathryn Harrison in top form.&rdquo; &mdash;Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors&#160;&ldquo;Astonishing. . . . Gorgeous. . . . Wise and all-seeing. . . . Full of whimsy and hope and awe. . . . Harrison braids her material: the story of her childhood, the story of her grandparents&rsquo; lives. . . . it&rsquo;s not just memoir, not just family history, not just a meditation on culture and class, but a mystery, too.&rdquo; &mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books  &ldquo;Harrison&rsquo;s story is ordinary and extraordinary.&#160;. . . The delight of this book lies in her relationship with these grandparents&mdash;marvels of experience, patience and knowledge whose stories set her off to become a writer.&rdquo; &mdash;The National Book Review  &ldquo;Fairy-tale fascinating, profoundly revealing of cultural divisions, and brilliantly and wittily told. . . . Harrison&rsquo;s entrancing look-back casts light on resonant swaths of history as she reenters the frozen bubble in time she occupied as a lonely child.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist  &ldquo;Evocative and tender, this delightful memoir pairs the distant past with a safe and sacred time in the author&rsquo;s young life.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly  &ldquo;A poignant and eloquent memoir. . . . Blending family history and mythology, anecdotes and photographs, this book is not simply one woman&rsquo;s open love letter to two magnificently eccentric grandparents; it is also a testament to the enduring power of memory.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews

On Sunset

The only thing I have read that gets close to the experience of loss and the way in which it suspends our entire, usual understanding of time. A wonderful piece of work

"{Studying the Power Elite is} a useful overview of the debate...a guide to the key schools of thought." --The Financial Times
"I am hard pressed to think of another book which has the author so vigorously defending himself from his critics. And when all is said and done, even the strongest critics in the new book recognize that on the big picture question of class power, Bill Domhoff’s 1967 analysis remains largely correct." - Randy Shaw, Beyond Chron
“In the new volume, each coauthor builds on Domhoff's signature contributions, revealing how the corporate rich triumphs repeatedly over organized labor, liberals, and environmentalists... The other contributors, invited by the publisher to extend or critique Domhoff's work, bring a range of perspectives to Studying the Power Elite.” – excerpt from the USCS Newscenter, full release: https://news.ucsc.edu/2017/11/domhoff-power.html

Prize: Co-winner of the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women Book Award for a work published in 2006  '... a fine and welcome study ... provides a new model for understanding what women bought, displayed, collected, and commissioned.  Carefully integrating extensive archival research with a set of important critical inquiries, McIver offers up a well-balanced picture of domestic space, subject and object in and against what might be called the unbalanced field of Italian Renaissance art history.' Allison Levy, Wheaton College, USA  ’Through the use of newly discovered archival evidence, Katherine McIver offers an innovative and illuminating analysis of female patronage in Northern Italy during the sixteenth century... she present revealing new insights about how early modern women exercised political agency and economic power within a patriarchal society... The detailed appendix of documents will be of note both for those with a particular interest in material culture of the Early Modern period as well as a wider audience... this is a valuable study with a strong methodological framework combining the close reading of original documents with well-balanced critical analysis of a variety of visual material.’ The Art Book  ’The book cleverly fills in some of the lack of sources in English and aptly testifies to the depth and liveliness of the cultural debate about women in Renaissance Italy between the 14th and 17th centuries... The superb peculiarity of McIver's work consists in giving a new historical perspective on women's power, displayed in different manners and strategies in order to maintain and increase family properties, or even to advance their social status.’ Women's History Magazine  ’The publisher, Ashgate, is to be thanked and congratulated for allowing the author to include almost fifty pages of transcribed inventories and a glossary... This ensures that the book will become an invaluable resource for work on women as patrons and consume

This text, from the first, takes an academically rigorous, socially aware and culturally enlightened approach to a rather ambiguous title, and in so doing, makes a significant contribution to the rapidly developing field, of not just political science as a discipline, but to every discipline, and, outside of academia, every person, to whom the issues discussed are relevant and therefore life affecting.
