Reviews

""Fisher-Livne (Hebrew Union College) and May-Curry (Georgetown Univ.) present essays by a variety of professors, museum curators, librarians, and others working in public humanities, which provide guidance to practitioners and demonstrate how vital such projects are to the further development of humanistic studies and to our communities. Intended for multiple audiences engaging with public humanities—whether in theory and research capacities or in designing, implementing, or evaluating actual projects . . . The case study format allows for easy adaptation of project ideas to other contexts, making it particularly useful for faculty looking for ways to involve students in community-based service learning projects. In a time when many question the relevance of the humanities in higher education and public life, this volume is critical. Summing Up: Essential. Undergraduates through faculty; professionals."" --M. Anderson, CHOICE
