March 14, 2023Fine enough as far as textbooks go. A little Mr. Obvious at times. "Racism is bad". "War isn't good for mental health". No shit, Sherlock. Political agenda obvious... but I do agree so I don't mind all that much personally. Clear and easy to read for the most part. Interesting subject too.
