Reviews

[Peter Jones · Rating 3 out of 5]

I bought this for Hughes Old's article on Calvin. I enjoyed Prof. Old's article and the essay on Calvin's medical problems. The other articles were fine, but not great. I would not recommend reading it, unless you need to cite one of the articles for a paper or book. It is not a bad read, but rather a boring and superfluous one.
