Please also send a short explanation to state what makes you a good reviewer of the book (or you may send me your CV). The reviews need to be between 500 and 1,000 words and documented in MLA style. Because of the current COVID-19 situation, physical books may only be sent to an address in the U.S. International reviewers will receive an e-copy of the book.

Thank you.
