content: This is a wonderfully logical argument for how things came to be the way they are, but the Kindle version is a huge disappointment. First, text-to-speech is DISABLED. Second, significant figures, particular maps, are entirely missing. Finally, several tables are impossible to read. For example, Table 18-1 would be a very interesting comparison of many of the issues discussed in the book and would serve as a convenient way to tie several themes together, but it's presented in two chunks that don't fit together.Bottom line: check it out from your local library. Don't by the Kindle edition.
