Title: Dry as Dust
Product review: A dissenting view--I came to this book as someone who wanted a good introduction to Pragmatism. I have to say that I was disappointed. The book meanders all over the place, telling gossipy stories of the Civil War, Dartmouth College/University, and Hetty Green that the author barely bothers to tie into his main theme. I kept thinking, "Okay, when are we going to get to the part about Pragmatism?" Only in the last chapters do we finally get a comprehensive explanation of what Pragmatism is, but these chapters could easily be read on their own, without the buildup of all that came before.A very perplexing read. A book that isn't sure what it wants to be.
