Book Reviews
Beginning with Kiva issue 75(3), reviews of single books will be published on the AAHS website. We are publishing single book reviews online because of the volume of publications of interest to Kiva‘s readers, space constraints within the printed journal, and the potential for reviews to reach wider audiences in this open online format. Thematic reviews and review articles that discuss more than one book will still be published within the printed pages of the journal itself.
Reviews published online should be cited as follows:
