Title: Ugh!
Review: I agree with several of the other reviewers. This book isn't difficult but it is terribly written. Consider the following sentence on page three, "Thus, if you, and especially if your parents as well, were educated in Western society, you likely were immersed in a perspective derived from the thinking of John Locke, and those who followed him, about the appropriate rules for theory construction and methodology in the physical sciences." - Uh... come again?The pretentiousness of this sort of poor academic writing betrays it as a kind of intellectual kitsch, analogous to bad art that declares itself "profound" or "moving" not by displaying its own intrinsic value but by borrowing these values from elsewhere.
