'... articulate, engaging and wide-ranging study ... Very readably integrating phases of close reading with robust theoretical appetite, it is particularly successful in engineering a dialogue between elements of a contemporary, largely Anglo-American, ’utopian studies’ perspective and its primary French-language corpus, balanching historical sensitivity with analytical energy in the process.' Michael G. Kelly, Modern and Contemporary France   '[Sipe’s book] makes an original and highly important contribution to the study of utopian thought in modern French culture.'

Awarded the BASEES George Blazyca Prize in East European Studies, 2013 'In this compelling ethnography of the charm, sensibilities, and horror of a bygone era, Jakubowska brings to life the lasting tale of the Polish gentry. This extraordinary book addresses not only how this nobility has read and interpreted its own history, but also how others continue to be fascinated by the sheer allure of their habitus. Here we are provided with both a record and an explanation as to how the history of a class is transformed, made magical, and instantiated in the popular imagination of the nation in a way that is at times, "natural" and at times "manipulative." Bourdieu is surely smiling on this ethnography.'  Donna M. Goldstein, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA  'Over centuries the Polish szlachta has skillfully fused familial identities with those of the Polish nation and Western civilization, but Jakubowska illuminates the class and even racial dimensions of noble myth-making. The continuing magic of the old surnames suggests that Polish social structure has more in common with other old countries in Western Europe than with postsocialist neighbours in the East. Jakubowska's sensitive analysis of these carriers of the national memory is a fine study in historical anthropology, rich in implications for both theory and method.'  Chris Hann, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany  'This is an extraordinary book - undoubtedly one of the most important works on Poland to be written in recent years. Although the author is an anthropologist, this should be essential reading for historians as well, because of both the subject matter and the methodological approach... The goal of this book is not merely to debunk the historical memory of the Polish gentry, but to show how their own sense of identity has shaped that memory (and vice versa). This matters, because their strong position among the educated elite has ensured that their version of the past has set the con

Winner of the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award&nbsp;&nbsp; * &quot;This behind-the-scenes look at the first Apollo moon landing has the feel of a public television documentary in its breadth and detail.&quot;&nbsp; &mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review&nbsp;&nbsp; * &quot;This beautiful and well-documented tribute will introduce a new generation to that triumphant time.&quot;&#160;&nbsp; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews, starred review&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;This dramatic account will mesmerize even readers already familiar with the event-&mdash;and also leave them awed by the level of care and dedication it took to surmount so many daunting technological challenges.&quot;&#160;&nbsp; &mdash;School Library Journal&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Thimmesh gives names and voices to the army that got Neil Armstrong and company to the moon and back. The result is a spectacular and highly original addition to the literature of space exploration.&quot;&#160;&nbsp; &mdash;Horn Book&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Catherine Thimmesh tells us the stories of the 400,000 people it took to make...that &#39;one giant leap&#39;...Their collective devotion to an exciting goal comes across strongly.&quot;&#160;&nbsp; &mdash;Chicago Tribune&nbsp;&nbsp; * &quot;Kids . . . probably feel they know quite a bit about the first manned moon landing. But until they&#39;ve read Thimmesh&#39;s breathless behind-the-scenes account, they know zip.&quot;&#160;&nbsp; &mdash;Bulletin, starred review&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;An edge-of-your-seat adventure . . . lavishly illustrated . . . this exhilarating book . . . will captivate.&quot;&#160;&nbsp; &mdash;Chicago Sun-Times&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;So often in history, the actual participants get lost in the retelling of the story. But in Thimmesh&#39;s highly engaging book, Team Moon, the&nbsp; thousands of people responsible for landing man on the moon finally and deservedly get their due. This engrossing historical account is extremely timely; for it is today&#39;s children who will make up the team of tomorrow. These kids will be returning to the moon, privatizing space, and, as I hope, finally placing human footprints upon Martian soil. And as this remarkable book shows, it&#39;ll take astronauts -- and a whole lot of others -- to fuel the space exploration that is our future.&quot;&nbsp; &mdash;Buzz Aldrin, astronaut, Apollo 11, and moonwalker on the first lunar landing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Thimmesh&#39;s enthusiasm for her subject is palpable, and the sense of excitement she brings is as vital to Team Moon&#39;s success the book&#39;s very premise.&quot;&nbsp; &mdash;Chris Barton, author of Shark vs. Train&nbsp;&nbsp; An NCTE Orbis Pictus Honor Book&nbsp; AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books&nbsp; An ALA Best Book for Young Adults&nbsp; An ALA Notable Children&rsquo;s Book
