		<description><![CDATA[by Kathy G. Short, The University of Arizona Book reviews, by definition, are a summary and evaluation of a particular book. Clearly reviewers make those evaluations within their in-depth knowledge of the broader field and body of literature. The reviews themselves sometimes connect the book to other literature, especially in longer reviews, but the general [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wowlit.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7662177&amp;post=71&amp;subd=wowlit&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
