Review Quotes: "The accounts are refreshingly personal, often brutally honest, and cover an impressive range of issues - from practical matters of daily life ... to methodological concerns about "truth," "falsehood," and all that comes in between. Overall, the contributions are well written, jargon-free, and easily accessible."-Jean Allman, University of Minnesota
