“Students, both undergraduate and graduate, who find themselves at a similar crossroads in their academic careers will find the Handbook helpful. ... I wish that the Handbook would have been available when I first happened across CPG. Not only does it provide a useful guide for how to do CPG, it also provides a source of support, in a way, for CPG as a subdiscipline in itself.” (Maegen Rochner, The AAG Review of Books, Vol. 7 (3), 2019)
