Wednesday Blog Watch - Book Reviewers

In this age of book reviewer cutbacks, it is heartening to see bloggers reviewing books on their websites, and keeping alive the spirit of critique. This week we look at bloggers who've reviewed some MIT Press books recently.
Paying with Plastic, a book about the history of the credit card industry, was reviewed by the blog Only Slightly Bent.
John Palfrey blogs about Learning Race and Ethnicity in his blog at Harvard Law School.
Confronting the Coffee Crisis is reviewed on, of all things, a blog about tea called The Tea Pages:

Yes, I know this is a tea blog and this book is about coffee. However, the topic and content are extraordinarily important for the tea industry as well - how do we ensure that growing and producing coffee (and tea) can continue to be ecologically and economically sustainable?

Not really a book review, but in a post about Grand Theft Auto, the Brainy Gamer recommends chapters from Jesper Juul's Half-real , Ian Bogost's Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism, and Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman's Rules of Play.
Speaking of reviews of games books, Second Person was reviewed on Slashdot recently.

The classic The Rediscovery of the Mind by John Searle is discussed on the Thoughts, Books, and Philosophy blog.
Another classic: the aesthetic appeal of 1969's Bauhaus is discussed in this Tonyvenne.org post.
