  Philobiblon — Authority: 106
  When you start reading Martine Segalen’s Love and Power in the Peasant Family: Rural France in the Nineteenth Century , you might think she’s taking on straw men.

  Divisive, bitter troublemakers! There are a number of good analyses out there on the world-wide non peer-reviewed interwebs regarding the upcoming showdown over abortion rights (or rather, whose bill will go farthest in restricting abortion rights) and health care reform.  Dems are falling all over themselves ...
