Exactly what I was looking for. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Glad I finally picked this up.
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them.
