Some Book Reviews

Looking for something to read? I can recommend a couple dozen books to you, depending on your interest, and the list will grow. My LinkedIn recommendation page notes books on creativity, culture, dialogue theory, environmentalism, language, power, psychology, race relations, storytelling, and writing. Many of these books were recommended to me by friends, colleagues, and students—and I thank them all. Remember what I said in a previous post: You have to read more to write better.
