Alice Wood’s Virginia Woolf’s Late Cultural Criticism: The Genesis of ‘The Years’, ‘Three Guineas’ and ‘Between the Acts’ illuminates the formation of Virginia Woolf’s last three major works within larger literary and historical contexts. Wood’s approach to Woolf’s writings is refreshing, which integrates 'feminist-historicist' analysis with genetic criticism, a French school of textual studies that reconstructs the genesis of literary texts through published and pre-publication materials, or what geneticists have called 'avant-textes' (pre-texts) … Examining an extensive gathering of sources, ranging from Woolf’s reading notes, research scrapbooks, holograph and typescript drafts, manuscripts, and proofs to her diaries, essays, and correspondence, Wood deftly synthesizes critical interpretations of Woolf’s evolving aesthetic practices and political stance with detailed analysis of authorial considerations under the influence of contemporary writing and political climate in the last decade of Woolf’s life.

... a timely and valuable contribution to understanding this area of law, examining the current status of children in EU law, and the potential scope for future developments.
This book will be particularly useful for researchers in the field of children's rights, and researchers and practitioners in any of the legal fields examined in detail by the author, including family law, migration and child protection. It also provides a useful reflection on the increasing scope of activities of the EU and will be a reference point for researchers into European law more generally. It draws attention to the role of a new actor in the field of children's rights and a developing area of policy debate across the EU, demonstrating a combination of understanding of the EU, and the protection and empowerment of children. It makes a distinctive contribution to the understanding of European law, and of children's rights, which will stimulate the ongoing debate over the effective protection of children's rights in other contexts beyond the EU.

Scientism is an over reliance on or overconfidence in the sciences as the only route to reliable knowledge.  It is motivated by successful and effective technological outcomes that suggest scientific methods are a great, if not the best, source of knowledge for addressing any and all problems … This eclectic volume, which varies widely in style and scope, includes historical perspectives on scientism, religion, culture, and the humanities; critical assessments of cognitive neuroscience and neuroethics; and reflections on naturalism in epistemology.  Two messages emerge from the variety: scientism must be distinguished from the sciences, and the practices and results of the sciences require explicit interpretation … Summing Up: Recommended.

Wonderful read. Schott takes a thoughtful and balanced approach at explaining the complexity around media effects broadly and video game violence specifically, and does a superb job of weaving together scholarship from a variety of expected (communication, game studies/game theory, media psychology, rhetoric) and unexpected (criminology, dramaturgy, film studies, sociology, just to name a few) areas. The result is a volume easily accessible to a variety of different audiences – a touchstone for designers and scholars, a comprehensive reader for a graduate-level seminar on video games, and chapters of the book would be accessible to younger audiences, such as undergraduates. The book blends familiar and unfamiliar scholarship to help better address the “real issues” around the video game violence debate, as the volume puts those issues into focus. The result is a book that marks the past and present of game studies, and offers myriad suggestions for the future of the same.

Molony and Nelson have compiled a wide-ranging set of essays that offer fresh approaches to the study of transnational feminism and women’s activism in the twentieth century.
