Nigel C. - reviewed on 12/23/2014 + 9 more book reviews

Despite its length (a mainstay since the 1st edition in the 1960s), the chapter introductions are highly readable and the selections have been judiciously edited. There is enough material for a year-long course, but professors generally pick their favorites for the semester. My only complaint is the number of typos, a product of too much scanning technology and not enough human editors. The next edition, if ever, should return to hardcover.
