Reviews

[Valerie Cotnoir · Rating 4 out of 5]

While it was biased and definitely rambled, I think the authors did a good job of admitting there's always two sides to every story and adding real world examples to their definitions and theories. The maps and graphs really helped me visualize what they were trying to say as well.
