Chapter in recent edited volume on history of writing

I have a chapter entitled "The Development of Writing in Japan" in The Shape of Script: How and Why Writing Systems Change (ed. Stephen Houston, SAR Press, 2012).  It summarizes several of the central arguments of Realms, especially those made in chapters 4 and 7.

37th Annual Lionel Trilling Award

I am more honored than I can say that Realms has been awarded the 37th annual Lionel Trilling Award for best book by a Columbia College faculty member.
