Publisher Synopsis
"A hard-to-put-down book. It sits by my elbow making it difficult for me to write these words. I want to get back to it, to go from page to page, topic to topic...You might be tempted to travel from front to back, stopping to feast here and there, but don't treat it like a book. It is a treasure. Better to dip and meander.... This is a book that will settle many an argument and, I hope, send many a reader off on a journey." Read more...
