Another stellar review for my brilliant @newmarkjschool colleague @lindavillarosa's Under the Skin. "Villarosa’s unquenchable faith in the power of journalism makes her a worthy successor to another famous muckraker, Ida B Wells." https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jul/02/under-the-skin-review-us-healthcare-racism-linda-villarosa?CMP=share_btn_tw

My new post about the continua I found reading two new books about books by historians I greatly admire, @APettegree & @A_der_Weduwen (The Library: A Fragile History) + @mkirschenbaum (Bitstreams). https://medium.com/whither-news/continua-dd21faee976

Started watching @Freedland's @edbookfest conversation and I'm captivated by the story of The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World. Can't wait for the book--so I'll order the UK edition from Blackwells now. https://t.co/zwUnsQ639B

I have just finished @ElieNYC's Allow Me To Retort. It is brilliant, audacious, mordantly hilarious, honest, important, and profound. I highly recommend listening over reading. I want it taught in every con law, government, and journalism course.

A wonderfully written review by @page88, who reads about this man so we don't have to. e.g.: "Young Thiel had the usual dandruff-club hobbies: He played Dungeons & Dragons, read Tolkien and aced the SATs." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/21/books/review/the-contrarian-peter-thiel-max-chafkin.html?smid=tw-share

If you like this tweet, I recommend The Light Ages by @Seb_Falk & The Bright Ages by @Lollardfish & @prof_gabriele. Also Diane Webb's brilliant new translation of Johan Huizinga's Autumntide of the Middle Ages. Plus my bit on the perils of periodization: https://twitter.com/jeffjarvis/status/1480202325386047496 https://twitter.com/jeffjarvis/status/1487042223451607042
