The LSE Book Review

I published my first review for the LSE Review of Books last week.  The blog publishes daily (in itself an amazing task) and offers reviews from disciplines across the social sciences. Contributions are are made by writers from both within and outside of the London School of Economics (LSE).  The Review is managed out of the Public Policy Group, a section of the Department of Government.  Ultimately, the blog "seeks to encourage public engagement with and understanding of the social sciences, via involvement with their best written and most accessible products – books and ebooks".  I like being involved with such a worthy endeavour.

The very patient Managing Editor helped me craft a balanced piece of work.  The only thing I would change is contextual to the last paragraph.  To rectify, I recommend readers visit Stephen Ramsay and his discussion on the two types of digital humanities. This thoughtful, well-constructed piece provides a more complete context to the "bitter ideological war" than anything I could write.

Although the site's licensing allows me to copy and distribute here, I always think it better to drive readers to the original site.  This benefits the publisher's hit rate, and offers the reader exposure to other aspects of the site.  If you would like to read the review, please visit http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2013/06/20/book-review-digital_humanities-2/.  Who knows, you might find something else there which intrigues you.
