Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.

Almost perfect

Needed this for my research. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Solid, if not essential.
