Short Takes

David Zierler's INVENTION OF ECOCIDE has been translated into Vietnamese and is now available from Tre Publishing House.

Political Science Quarterly has a positive review of THE FAITHS OF THE POSTWAR PRESIDENTS in its winter issue. "David Holmes. . .makes a meaningful contribution with this timely book, examining the role that religion played in the lives of America's most-recent presidents. . . . Holmes has written a valuable reference for scholars working on a variety of topics relating to both religion and the presidency."

According to Paste Magazine, "[Susan] Puckett applies her charming and serendipitous touch to a region’s food culture." EAT DRINK DELTA "belongs in every Mississippi-bound automobile, right next to the GPS."

On February 21, Puckett will be signing books at Tunica Museum. The event will also include a discussion and last from 5:30-7:00pm. See flyer for more details.

The latest issue of eat. drink. MISSISSIPPI. has a recipe from EAT DRINK DELTA as well as a mention of the book. Be sure to pick up a copy!

"Though Puckett includes plenty of recipes, you don’t have to be a cook (or a Mississippian) to appreciate the beauty of this book, published by the University of Georgia Press. The language is stunning and the photographs—by Langdon Clay—are frame-worthy."--Atlanta Magazine

SALAMANDERS OF THE SOUTHEAST was recently featured in Herpetological Review, which said that authors Mitchell and Gibbons "have presented a perfect circle of argument within the book’s covers: salamanders are in trouble. . . and this is what you can do to help them out of trouble."

Alison Hope Alkon's BLACK, WHITE, AND GREEN was mentioned in Book News. "This text is often ethnographic, drawing from Alkon's lived experience and participant interviews. It challenges the way that visions of ethical consumerism and locavorism lead vendors and consumers alike to disregard inequalities."
