lse-new-logoWelcome to LSE Review of Books

LSE Review of Books publishes daily reviews of academic books across the social sciences. Our aim is to facilitate the sharing and exchange of knowledge between experts within and outside of the academy, and to open up academic research to increase its impact. We do this by encouraging public engagement with the social sciences through their best written and most accessible products: books.
