I've purchased approximately 100 books from Amazon and this is definitely one of the best. The author obviously posesses the wisdom necessary to tackle this subject, and the necessary skill as an author to make a dry subject enjoyable. Many authors ramble on and take pages to make a single point, whereas this author is straight to the point and doesn't waste a single word.

I was left with the impression that reading this small book was like reading condensed knowledge that others may take several books to explain. One strong point is that the goal or purpose of the book is a constant theme throughout. It was a joy to read and very informative - so much so that I feel compelled to write a review (my first).

Nigel Pennick is truly excellent at taking a subject that is wide open to nonsense and instead writing very sensible accounts of the development of these ideas. This book is unique! Well-written, clear, intelligent work.
