This revelatory book, written with the journalist Anna Wharton, is a recording of Mitchell’s disappearance, as it happens. She is clear that the onset of the disease signals, for her, an existential rupture...one of the most valuable things about the book – a detailing of what the disease actually feels like, a demystification.

Collins is an unashamed liberal centrist for whom process is all. It’s the project of his book to argue that “disillusionment with conventional politics” is at best a callow, and at worst a dangerous, form of cynicism. Having recruited everyone from Pericles onwards for his debating team, he more than makes his case.

Hinton’s account of the way he existed through what he called his “legal lynching” is a story of forgiveness and struggle – and a story of friendship and imagination.

“Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine” will make you think. It will also make you feel. You will think about your feelings and feel things about your thoughts. It’s a straightforward and sometimes beautiful rendition of a fascinating conceptual tangle, a chance to consider the myriad mysterious ways in which the universe works.

Given what we are dealing with right now, however, we’re going to need better, angrier, more wily and more thoughtful books than this one as our rallying cries.

As a portrait of Britain in the 1970s, this book is disappointingly traditional. There is the usual emphasis on national crises, tackiness, sexism – “Europe or Bust” on women’s T-shirts. There is little on the huge counterculture, the era’s unprecedented economic equality or the rising radical left.

To read Being Ecological is to be caught up in a brilliant display of intellectual pyrotechnics. The playful seriousness of Morton’s prose mixes references to Blade Runner and Tibetan Buddhism with lyrics from Talking Heads and concepts from German philosophers.

Mounk is a clear and often forceful writer, if not an especially stylish one; he favors the step-by-step explication and the tidy formulation. His prose seems to reflect his preferred mode of politics: earnest, respectful and pragmatic.

I thoroughly enjoyed Skin in the Game and that I strongly recommend it. But if you are new to Taleb's work, you shouldn't start with this book. It will make more sense and you'll get more out of it if you're already familiar with Taleb's core ideas...

The real tension in Balko and Carrington’s book is why it’s too hard — whether our society’s tendency to incarcerate innocent individuals results from basic incompetence, or bald racism.

...the author urges a renewal of civic education to enable people “to work with others to separate facts and logic from values and beliefs,” including, one assumes, the belief that it is acceptable to rob the public blind. Idealistic and stronger in description than prescription, but a provocative essay nonetheless.

In this respect and many others, Hill and Robinson provide exemplary—and timely—models of citizenship. A welcome contribution to the literature of the civil rights movement.

The author rejects conventional wisdom at every turn, occasionally risking nonsense for a higher sense. “Resolutely atheist” and a “skeptical pessimist,” Žižek does his best to leave no sacred cow ungored.
