Read for graduate course work. This was an interesting read as it is a collection of other people's short works on various OC research. Many times, the work leads the reader to an understanding that future research could pave the way to prove the thoughts, and theories discussed. While not an overly in-depth discussion of many topics, it is a really great conversation starter. One part I particularly did not enjoy was the inconsistency of the writing. One chapter would be really in depth, and written to an audience of professors, and the next seemed to be written to undergrads. I would have appreciated a bit more consistency.
