Title: Intriguing material presented in rather dull style.
Review: Full of useful information you can find nowhere else.But I find Landes' style overly precise and technical. His fans (legion) might describe it differently: sharply exact, accurate and delimited.Typical sentence: "Multiplicity of function entailed variation in nomenclature".OK, we all understand that sentence but how much do we enjoy it?I believe the samples on the 'look inside' feature at Amazon presents a fair example of what to expect (pages 15 and following).The footnotes are at the back of the book.The illustrations and figures not easy to make out.Excellent index and appendices.
