Pretty bland and uninspiring.
The three (?) new chapters are poorly and unenthusiastically written, and tend to miss the mark completely; Stott should stick to what he knows rather than attempting to voice experiences/opinions he isn’t really familiar with. Littered with examples and citations that surely could have been stronger or more topical. Interesting enough. 2.5 rounded up.
