June 22, 2010This work was one that I liked at times and disliked at times. I enjoyed the first two chapters, because they seem well organized and thought out. Yet, the ending chapters take a more polemical tone. He strikes out at ‘fundamentalists’ and ‘conservatives’, which I don’t really appreciate. More than that, his comments were not [...]
