Verkligt viktig bok i ett mycket angeläget ämne. Behandlra många frågeställningar insiktsfullt. Tyvärr tycker jag mindre bra om layouten som gör boken tyngre än nödvändigt att ta till sig. Orginalets 240 sidor har krympts till knappa 190. Detta gör at tfonten är mindre och en viss luftighet har försvunnit.
