Booklist also praises Janisse Ray's DRIFTING INTO DARIEN: "Ray, who danced nature writing into new and fertile terrain with An Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, introduces readers to one of the glories of the South, the Altamaha River. . . . Ray's encompassing, gracefully informative homage to what the Nature Conservancy has designated as one of the '75 Last Great Places' in the world is ecstatic and incensed." An excerpt from the book is featured at Southern Spaces.
The Post and Courier covered the cupcakes, beer and events surrounding the 125th anniversary of the great Charleston Earthquake; others, such as WLTX TV in Columbia, covered the actual earthquake.
CHOICE reviews for academic libraries highly recommends WHO GETS A CHILDHOOD ("In this timely and insightful study of juvenile justice in Texas, historian Bush...weaves the compelling story of this 110-year conflict between advocates of imprisonment and the proponents of rehabilitation...observing that this is a story repeated nationwide") and BRAZIL AND THE UNITED STATES (Smith has written a lucid overview of Brazilian-American relations that will be useful to scholars, policy makers, and casual readers for years to come").
