Abandoned.
This could potentially be an interesting topic if it were better written. In its current form, it is an academic work, and not one meant for general consumption. The opening two chapters are dreadfully written--among the worst I've ever read. After that, there is some attempt at discussing the topic, but every sentence seems geared to covering the author's ass rather than presenting information to the reader.
