A serious text

Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Well worth it.

Worth the read

I keep coming back to this one. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Recommended with reservations.
