It is with deep sadness I share the news that my mother, Reba, passed away yesterday. For the last 15 years, she suffered from a form of early onset dementia, but despite life’s challenges, she smiled a lot. I’ll miss her always.

Really wonderful to see this review of CUP author Keith Weghorst’s book, which pub. last August. I’m sure Keith would have been thrilled to see this. The paperback is forthcoming, which will hopefully help the book to achieve the broad audience it rightfully deserves.

I had the privilege of reviewing Keith Weghorst's book ~Activist Origins of Political Ambition~ Theoretically compelling, empirically rigorous; an exemplar of multi-method research. My full review here:
