This was a required reading for graduate school I had a delightful reading experience (despite the enormous amount of readings I still have for other courses). Very thought provoking. It also prompts you to reflect too. More importantly, phenomena and concepts I barely understood before made sense. I rarely give five stars. But I loved this one.
