Written in a very casual tone which helps the reader to digest information. Covers a wide spate of topics from a very wide vareity of perspectives. A fairly good text book on a fairly interesting subject.

Despite the few informative and interesting chapters, many really dragged on. Writing style was lack luster, but it gained two stars because it still gave information that I did not know prior to reading.

Very introductory. A few good chapters.
