Kristin Marguerite Doidge
PositiveLibrary JournalEphron was a comedic genius who truly found her milieu when she ventured into the world of filmmaking (three of her screenplays were Oscar-nominated)...Life was not all rosy; as with many comedic talents, there was a lingering sadness in Ephron, which Dodge ties to the early loss of her mother who taught her that \'everything is copy\'...Doidge’s vivacious, enthusiastic biography has serious undertones, much like Ephron herself...It will appeal to Ephron’s broad swath of fans.
Nick Seabrook
RaveLibrary JournalSeabrook’s excellent and cogent account of election boundary manipulation proves that political power knows few bounds and explains gerrymandering’s history and effects and ways to combat it...Seabrook finds similar manipulations in England’s rotten boroughs and describes how the Founding Fathers themselves were not averse to some boundary manipulation...Seabrook concludes that power lies with the people and explains how some states, led by California, are creating independent election district commissions to defeat political machinations...A timely and powerful book that should be read by everyone interested in preserving American democracy.
