Title: There Is No Here Here
Review: To paraphrase Gertrude Stein, there is no "Here" in this book. When the book is entitled "How We Got Here" I expect to get thoughtful insights linking what happened in the '70s to the world we're dealing with as the century turns. There is little or none of that, so what's the point? I've read histories of the '70s before (cf. Peter Carroll's "It Seemed Like Nothing Happened"). Add to that some sloppy spelling, fact-checking, grammar, and tenuous reasoning, and you've got a real disappointment on your hands.
