This book is worthwhile, but ploddingly slow... Also, if it's for an academic audience, why the scarcity of footnotes? If it's for a lay-audience, why the cavalier disregard for anything remotely like engaging writing? This is seriously interesting stuff and it seems like the author had to work really hard to make it seem dull. Well, he won't fool me. I'll continue to be fascinated despite his contrary efforts!
