[Morgan Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is dense, dry, and very impressive. Which is to be expected. It is not an introductory textbook. It is most useful, I think, as a reference work, taken a chapter at a time, considering carefully what the reader is interested in knowing. The researchers involved in its production are clearly brilliant. Everything they write is thoroughly sourced, and backed up with proper scientific experiments. The reference lists are often themselves are dozens of pages at the end of each chapter. Although I won't be reading it for fun, this will remain handy for me for quite some time, I reckon.

language is like a cracked kettle upon which we beat out tunes for beats to dance, while all the while we long to move the stars to pity.
