Review
'must be one of the most useful additions to the Oxford World's Classics series for some time' Robin Jarvis, Bristol Polytechnic
About the Author
Most recently, Adam convinced US band, Ween, to let him animate the video for their single "Transdermal Celebration." All involved were happy with the result, and an optimized QuickTime version of the video can be found on the book's CD.
Adam is quite small, but has big hands.

A great precursor to the "Reflections." A must-have, must-read for any and all interested in a philosophical review of our common history. Burke never disappoints.

Great book too! Hard to read the first time (as it was written in the 18th century), but once you've read it once or twice you get used to the way it's written.
Plus at under £4 it's a no brainer to have a second copy on my laptop/kindle.
