If you’re a diehard Amazonian, they’ve once again dropped the price on HTUW, to $17.25. I’m not sure how this is triggered. Perhaps it’s by the book’s rank on a competitor, such as B&N. I am not going to change the list price on all the pages this time–I’d just as soon folks patronized the competition! (Actually, at B&N you can get the book for less than $16 if you join their member plan.)
Very special thanks to Christine Monnier over at the GlobalSociology edublog for an incredibly detailed, thoughtful, and generous review of HTUW. Ditto for a kind mention by Lila Harper over at AFT’s FACEtalk blog.
You can preview part 1, Twilight of Academic Freedom, of my 3-segment interview with Cary Nelson in the mini-player above, or by following the link in the right column. It’s a doozy. I’ll write a proper intro for it tomorrow.
Finally: if you notice the “On Resentment” thread disappearing, it’s because I’ve decided on a firm anti-troll policy. When you have a gentle, kind zen master and experienced unionist like The Constructivist getting so frustrated that he smokes the troll with an “F-bomb,” you know it’s time to pull the plug.

Hey, Marc, just don’t say I didn’t warn ya. Now let me know when you’re up for your first major blogwar, and I’ll fan the flames as best I can.
In the meantime, keep up the fine work — here and at the CHE.
Thanks, man.
You did warn me. No need to fan the flames, though!
It could be that it isn’t selling very well. If that’s the case, I would, in your place, choose a less Leninesque graphic for the next book’s cover. It’s bound to put people off.
