    The purpose of the book review is to give you an opportunity to do additional reading of your own choosing for the class and to use the theories and concepts we are learning in the class as lenses of analysis and discussion of the contents of these books. The guidelines below are designed to assist you to achieve these purposes. Your book review should address at least these elements in the 4 to 5 typed double-spaced pages that you turn in.
    1. At the top of your first page have all of the bibliographic information for the book in the following format: Author name. Year of publication. Title. Location of publisher: publisher. Total no. of pp. ISBN. And cost of book.
