There s much to admire in this brave and much-needed book about doing public scholarship. The text is clearly written and consistently engaging. The examples are vivid, compelling, and fresh. The advice about the pros and cons of going public is candid and wise. I d recommend it to any aspiring academic who wants their voice to carry beyond the ivory tower. --Eric Klinenberg, professor of sociology at New York University"
