'Reading Garrity is like talking with your favorite uncle - he tells you the essential stories, in a clear and colorful way, and you get just what you need to explore further. The topics are well chosen (and there are more in this new edition). His points of view enrich the reader - not only do you learn what to know, but how to know it. I wish I had had this book when I started graduate school.' John McCleary, Vassar College
