• Reviews and Interviews

  • Science and Religion VSI in The Observer - “happily, Dixon’s bracing initiation is even-handed enough to inspire jolts of defensive ire in readers of every stripe.”
  • The Oxford Guide to Literary Britain and Ireland in The Guardian - “a treasure trove of anecdotes, quotes obscure and reassuringly familiar, odd poetry and pub trivia.”
  • Powers of Persuasion in Financial Times - “The author shows a seductive flair for combining piquant anecdotes about individual agencies and campaigns with revealing and reliable data, which makes the book both enjoyable for the general reader and solidly based, without being a worthy read.”
