Time and History in Deleuze and Serres

Bernd Herzogenrath is Professor of American Studies at the University of Frankfurt, Germany.

All in all, this is a very nice collection of essays, and combined they do offer a convincing case that bringing the concepts of Deleuze and Serres together can reorient our thinking of both Deleuze and Serres in a number of important ways. One can also find, in Herzogenrath and Berressem's final two essays of the collection, important readings of Henry Adams that nicely complement the earlier essays.
