Apropos of all that spare time we have for summer reading, what follows
is a list of books that have been received by *Mind, Culture, and Activity*
for possible review. If you would like to review one, or a pair together,
write to peggy (pbengel who-is-at weber.ucsd.edu) and cc mcole@ucsd.edu and we
will send out the book to you.
This is more or less a first come, first serve, situation, so act fast
while the pickins are easy!
