Comment concerning citations is irrelevant - the book is probably not cited much elsewhere but the article is an extremely good and concise synopsis of the book. As can be confirmed by actually reading it... Peter R Hastings (talk) 17:21, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree that (to me) this section indicates an unsubstantiated bias. RobinClay (talk) 23:56, 5 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
