Reviews

The reviews that display on the book records in the Core Collection attach themselves dynamically from Wilson's Book Review Digest Plus. Whenever another review appears in any of the journals indexed in the Wilson periodical indexes, it appears in Core Collections as well. As you can see in the example below, many of them have full text, excerpts (quotations of the salient passages of the review), or both.

Abstract:		"In tracing Adam's life from childhood through his many critical, heroic, and selfless acts during the Revolution, his vice presidency under Washington, and his own term as president, the full measure of Adams--a man widely regarded in his time as the equal of Jefferson, Hamilton, and all of the other Founding Fathers--is revealed." (Libr J) "This is a wonderfully stirring biography; to read it is to feel as if you are witnessing the birth of a country firsthand." (Booklist)
