Reviews

Intelligible and interesting to the lay reader; yet scholarly enough for the professional ethicist, On Manners is Karen Stohr's elegant calling card. I trust that the other public intellectuals will return the visit by reading the book. -Howard Curzer, Texas Tech University Drawing on Austen, Kant, and Seinfeld, blending powerful and precise thought with graceful and inviting prose, Karen Stohr has written a book that is not only wise, but warmly hospitable. When you read it, you'll learn just how very important that is. -James Nelson, Michigan State University
