Title: Junk reading
Review: I read "Captains of Consciousness" by the same author before I purchased this book. That book was so-so so I decided to give this one a look.This particular book is very poorly written, lacking both in style and substance. The title of the book is misleading because from reading the it, it became apparent to me that the author did not intend on writing a serious, thorough, or even thoughtful examination of PR and its history. The author basically summarizes the work of other people - lots of other peoples, except this is done very unevenly so the reader does not get a solid impression of the subject matter. While the book is broken up into chapters, these chapters are not chronologically ordered, so one cannot follow the material from Chapter 1 - the beginning to Chapter X - the present. Ontop of the endless summaries of other persons works, the author in no way join together these works into a conclusion, all this add up to a very unsatifying read.
Is the review positive or negative?
