Trade Review
"... the specificity and breadth of this [work] makes it unique... lively reading ... particularly recommended for academic collections with a strong focus in Russian history." oLibrary Journal "... a remarkable new collection of essays ... The book reads like a literary hybrid of cookbook, historical treatise, and novella; its subject is, literally, the essence of life itself... Glants and Toomre deserve further praise for the book's consistent, animated directness of style." oThe Boston Phoenix
