This book is fantastic! I learned more in two days with this book than an entire semester in a college classroom. I love the writing. Some of the pieces read like novels. I do wish there were more illustrations, but one can't have everything. And I agree with the review by Clint from Texas that the guy from Turtle Island or where ever definitely has an agenda. ... Whoever reads this, listen to me, "this book belongs in your collection." I just hope there is a volume two in the works.
