February 4, 2016Very basic primer on hard and soft commodities reciting lots of data, with only the occasional flash of insight. Energy section especially weak: one-sidedly promotes "peak oil" thesis (especially Simmons, who looks like he's going to lose his famous bet on $200 oil this year) with no mention whatsoever of "fracking" when speaking of natural gas supply prospects. Marred, as with many such texts, by a woefully misleading title as well as by the publisher's complete abdication of the editing process. At $50-$100 per slim volume, Wiley (a listed company) should be ashamed of its product. Check this one out of the library if you must.
