It represents many of the finest nonfiction writers of the past several decades. There are many treasures here--and some real surprises. This is compelling stuff, wide ranging and beautifully balanced."--Evan Cornog, School of Journalism, Columbia University "The range, care, and thoughtfulness with which this volume has been edited is hugely impressive.
