Title: A litany of facts does not a book make...
Review: 1. First of all, I 100% agree with one of the reviewers that this is not for the "lay" reader... and I'm certainly a novice when it comes to this topic. Nonetheless, I can read and the overt problem with this book is that it's just a mishmash of factoids here / there, which is not the basic ingredients for a lucid / coherent book. Thus although many may be impressed with all of the minutia of detail, it rather has the opposite effect on me; If I'm going to put in the time to read/ learn about a certain topic, I think it's reasonable to expect that the author the present a coherent / logical narrative rather than million bits of information.2. For the novice, we might be better off looking to more standard fare when trying to tackle this subject.
