"Questions of faith can ignite a conversation or stop it cold, depending on the beliefs of those conversing. Editor Zackheim (author, editor, playwright; The Bone Weaver) opens a Pandora's box when she asks fellow writer friends to answer a question we all consider at some point in life: What do I believe? Twenty-three personal essays later, Zackheim presents a distinct collection that is honest, thought provoking, outrageous, and endearing. Best-selling author Anne Perry expresses her contemplative journey steeped in faith, while the equally prolific Jacquelyn Mitchard apologetically explains why she remains an atheist. Malachy McCourt has no regrets for his disbelief in his self-proclaimed "anti-religion rant," as Dianne Rinehart writes a mini-manifesto against robotic love. This multifaceted collection is not meant to sway nonbelievers nor to champion those of faith; it is a refreshing reminder that we are free to choose our own path. VERDICT Short, accessible essays for readers with an interest in cultural studies, theology, psychology, and personal writings."

The father-and-daughter team behind "My Side of the Car" reunite here for the story of a determinedly restless baby. When the defiant child yells from his crib, "NO go sleep!," everyone from his mother to the moon chimes in to comfort and cajole him into changing his mind. "And the stars, 'We will twinkle and sprinkle sweet dreams down to you.'" Kate Feiffer's straightforward prose and clever, humorous story speak to Everybaby, and Jules Feiffer's jangly-limbed, blue-eyed boy, illustrated in pen-and-ink with washes of blue watercolor, is adorability incarnate.   --New York Times Book Review, May 13, 2012

This important book admirably seeks not only to understand Serres but to use his thought to challenge and re-frame some of today’s most pressing social and philosophical debates, from the body and materialism to ecology and the future of the university. Its compelling interventions leave the reader with an acute sense of the contemporary urgency of thinking both with and through Serres. Both scholars familiar with the breadth of Serres’s work and those new to the significance and relevance his timely thought will find much of interest and, more importantly, of use in these pages.
