‘An intellectual treat...the delight of this book lies in that combination of wit with perception, and of width of view with ease of expression for which Russell made himself known.’ - Financial Times 
‘Russell is as incapable of being dull as he is of being shallow’ – The Observer
‘His writings reflect his crystalline, scintillating mind and rank him among the few masters of English style’ – Sunday Times

Hiding Politics in Plain Sight explores what happens when contentious politics are usurped by market mechanisms and the illusion of consensus. Focusing on the pinking of breast cancer, Patricia Strach illuminates the ways in which activists with corporate backgrounds raised awareness about a previously taboo illness but did so by framing it in ways that led the public to view it through depoliticized, non-feminist, and pink-tinted happy glasses. In so doing,
this book illuminates a crucialand until now under-appreciatedroute through which private industry shapes politics and policy.

He is one of those very accomplished English commentators who has only a  B.D. but whose scholarship surpasses that of most Americans with a  Th.D. [...] One of the greatest contributions of the volume is in the author’s skill  in weaving the historical background into the interpretation of the  Book of Hosea. [...] It is a delightful surprise to find a commentator who is willing to  specify his arguments for or against any particular interpretation  (e.g., the crux in 2:2 [31- 38]; cf. also, 59-60). Whether or not one  agrees with the conclusions, it is helpful to have such detailed  interpretative information. No detail, in fact, is beyond Macintosh’s  attention.
The specialized appendix on the vocabulary of Hosea (585-93) provides  readers with a valuable resource for the study of the book. Every exegete dealing with the Book of Hosea should avail himself of the valuable information provided in Macintosh’s work.

&#8220;Letters are history on the fly, captured, often unwittingly, by unselfconscious witnesses and brought gloriously to life. The Book of Letters is a little treasure box of Canadian history&#8230; it is the voice of the past, ringing clear and fine across the years.&#8221;&#8211;Globe and Mail (selected by the Globe as one of 2002&#8217;s 100 best books) &#8220;Plenty to admire, inform, surprise, amuse, and keep the pages turning.&#8221; &#8211;Edmonton Journal&#8220;[A] treasure trove of Canadian letters carefully selected from personal collections, archives and museums, some of them dating back to the days before Confederation.&#8230; Collectively they form an archaeological dig of sorts that paints a wonderful and revealing portrait of who we are as Canadians.&#8230; A most acceptable form of eavesdropping.&#8221;&#8211;Toronto Sun&#8220;Audrey and Paul Grescoe are turning a great idea into books of letters about war, love, and, among other things, exploding cows.&#8230;The hardships experienced by early pioneers, the bravery of soldiers in wartime, the FLQ crisis, witticisms from the country's cultural icons &#8211; all are represented here.&#8221; &#8211;Vancouver Sun&#8220;[A] pleasurable entry into a treasure trove of beguiling incidents, portentous events and unfamiliar landscapes.&#8221;&#8211;Hamilton Spectator&#8220;These letters, even though they are all by Canadians and about Canadians, have a universality of appeal, because there is no human condition that is not touched in them in one way or another.&#8230; [The Book of Letters] has so carefully and tastefully &#8230; represented virtually all of them, from the extremes of happiness to the extremes of despair.&#8221; &#8211;John Bentley Mays, The Arts Tonight, CBC Radio&#8220;I&#8217;m grateful to Paul and Audrey Grescoe for having done us all an enormous favour by gathering this intriguing collection of private correspondence, for nothing matches a letter in its ability to seize a moment in time.&#8221;&#8211;Toronto Star&#8220;A broad and absorbing collection.&#8221;&#8211;Quill & Quire

'This study offers, for the first time, a fascinating scene-by-scene commentary on Birtwistle's magnum opus. Drawing on revealing insights from the composer's sketches, Jonathan Cross negotiates expertly between details of compositional structure and the work's poetic content. The frequent references to other works make this book a valuable companion for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of Birtwistle's music.' Robert Adlington, University of Nottingham, UK  'With Jonathan Cross, author of  numerous important texts on Birtwistle, [The Mask of Orpheus] has found a most persuasive advocate.'

&ldquo;Los Angeles is refracted in all its irreducible, unexplainable glory in&#160;Dear Los Angeles. . . . Kipen&rsquo;s new&#160;compendium collects fragmentary views of Los Angeles, from nearly 500 years of letters and diaries, turning the City of Angels into a city of angles, glimpses, shards of perception, like a million little slivers of a broken mirror, all reflecting different images of our disparate city back to us.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times&ldquo;This book&rsquo;s a brilliant constellation, spread out over a few centuries and five thousand square miles. Each tiny entry pins the reality of the great unreal city of Angels to a moment in human time&mdash;moments enthralled, appalled, jubilant, suffering, gossiping or bragging&mdash;and it turns out, there&rsquo;s no better way to paint a picture of the place.&rdquo;&mdash;Jonathan Lethem &#160; &ldquo;[A] grand, cosmic, Joycean &lsquo;year&rsquo; of Los Angeles&rsquo;s entire existence . . . . These voices and moods in such strange proximity to each other, across centuries, create the sense of a vibrant community . . . engaged in constant conversation. . . . A book for the ages.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books&ldquo;[A] scintillating collection of letters and diary entries . . . an engrossing trove of colorful, witty insights.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review)&ldquo;[This] book deepens and expands and flyspecks our view of Los Angeles. . . . An ebullient and often moving way to organize history. Major events (wars, public ceremonies, assassinations, elections) blend with private joys and griefs, and with offbeat assertions, wild boasts, intimate details and moments of unforced lyricism.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times&ldquo;A Los Angeles native and lion of the city&rsquo;s literary culture gathers writers&rsquo; impressions of the City of Angels from across several centuries. . . . Like the city itself, the book mashes wildly diverse sources into an intriguing and surprising whole.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;&ldquo;Lushly rewarding . . . irresistible . . . Los Angeles native and book critic Kipen performed a seven-year feat of zealous, far-ranging research and editing to create what he describes as &lsquo;a collective self-portrait of Los Angeles.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;What better way to celebrate this fragmented yet uncontainable city than through these pithy historical nuggets of intellectual and artistic criticism and delight. I&rsquo;m keeping my copy and will surely be buying many more as gifts, too. John Cage! Octavia Butler! Thank you, David Kipen, for loving the unruly sprawl.&rdquo;&mdash;Aimee Bender, author of&#160;The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
