Mixed feelings

Needed this for my research. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.

Was skeptical at first. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. Good, with the caveats above.
