Book Reviews


Book Reviews


Rosette

The Book Review section of the journal aims to include two broad areas of interest:

  1. reviews of published works by MirandaNet members.
  2. reviews of works by other authors that are of interest to the membership.

While retaining the traditional title of ‘Book Reviews’ the range of reviewed works may be considered quite broadly and is not confined to print titles.  Where digital artefacts are reviewed they should be content oriented (i.e. they present an extended argument, discussion or account of an issue, topic or theme) and ideally accessible for the foreseeable future or at least can be referenced to an archive.

Review of relevant television programmes, films, and lectures such as those available on Ted talks would all form useful subjects for review.

MirandaNet members are invited to contribute reviews. Please email editor@mirandanet.ac.uk
