Inside our August issue

We’ve read our way through the dog-eared days of summer, and now that we’ve devoured Julie’s July beach reads, we move on to another eclectic mix of stimulating reviews, including a new feature called Worth Mentioning. Don’t miss it!
    What’s in Florence besides the Uffizi?
       (extra credit for two answers)
    Is Iceland mostly desert?
    How simple can anything get?
    Are happy families all alike?
    Does the US need an empire?

    Our reviews this month will tell you
    the answers.
To read a book,
to think it over, and
to write out notes is a
useful exercise; a book
which will not repay
some hard thought is
not worth publishing.
