Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Good, with the caveats above.
Needed this for my research. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Great value for what you get.
