Reviews:

• [A] splendid assembly of real thinking about the issues which matter ... this is a book to purchase, rather than to borrow; a book to read, then to re-read; a volume of assorted writings with coherence as well as readability ... it will certainly go into my reference collection, and, I recommend, should go into yours.
