Excellent, provocative book.
This is an excellent, provocative book. Unfortunately, it's out of print as of the date of this review, so if you find a used copy, definitely snatch it up if you can!

Ohmann is a genius, though this is not his best book.
Some critics consider this to be Ohmann's best work, which is odd...a little like praising Isaac Newton for his religious writings rather than gravity or calculus.
