Title: Comprehensive but too scholarly
Product review: I made two attempts to get through Prof. Kaplan's mighty tome, but I failed. Perhaps I am therefore unqualified to review it. This would be a great book for students of the history of science, seekers of graduate degrees in linguistics, and so on. For mere mortals like me, it was even harder going than the late Prof. Bloom's "Closing of the American Mind."But I'm going to keep trying to understand this book, because I respect Morton Kaplan and I feel his book deserves more study. *sigh*Ed Poor, Programmer Analyst
