Sometimes a monograph, article, or book will be published, but it might not have\n<\/div>\n<div>groundbreaking research or insight. Because of this, when a scholar writes an academic book\n<\/div>\n<div>review, they consider the other theories and research within the topic and use the book review to\n<\/div>\n<div>describe where it fits in the current framework. Academic book reviews provide critical\n<\/div>\n<div>evaluation, analysis of sources and methodology, and connection to other relevant literature. The\n<\/div>\n<div>scholar will also provide their own critique and explain whether they would recommend the book\n<\/div>\n<div>to other scholars (and why or why not).<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the semester you will write two book reviews.
