In the collective reflection initiated by Alessandro Duranti, Bergson's Discours sur la politesse, which was intended to edify high school students, becomes a profound and superb meditation, at the border between anthropology and linguistics, on the cultural, moral and political aspects of politeness - as it is and could be.

Rethinking Politeness with Henri Bergson

One can only be delighted that Notes on the Underground is again available in print. Great books can only remain classics if they are reread by new generations of readers. It is now possible to put Williams's book alongside other classics such as Leo Marx's The Machine in the Garden or Raymond Williams's The City and the Country. Notes on the Underground deserves to be added to this prestigious list of studies that continue to inspire all those who defend a holistic yet not necessarily homogeneous view of analyzing science and culture.&#8212;Jan Baetens, Leonardo&mdash;What are the consequences when human beings dwell in an environment that is predominantly built rather than given? An uncommonly astute and provocative array of answers are examined through the metaphor of living underground, literally and in literature...A spellbinder.&#8212;J. Baldwin, Whole Earth Review&mdash;Williams has written a book that is clear and enjoyable...Notes on the Underground's moral imperative not only makes for fascinating criticism, but also encourages a rethinking of our ecological priorities.&#8212;John Miller, Artforum&mdash;

Jehovah’s Witnesses is a master class in religious ethnography, or the study of lived religion … Chryssides’ reflexivity and self-consciousness adds to the readability of the volume; his sympathy towards his subject walks the line between situated objectivity to apologia without crossing it.

Buck-Morss has written a wonderful book. Although rigorously analytic, the book doesn't sacrifice those qualities in Benjamin's writing that are not reducible to method. His lyrical, hallucinatory evocation of the city as a place of dreams, myths, expectations.&#8212;Herbert Muschamp, Artforum&mdash;Wonderfully imaginative...Like Benjamin, Buck-Morss is a surrealist explorer, her mysteries unraveled by intuition, revealed by illusion.&#8212;Eugen Weber, The New Republic&mdash;
