Critics Review
It’s very easy to throw out terms like “essential reading” in reviews, but this comprehensive and expansive analysis lives up to those words … As narrator Barker is conciliatory and welcoming, breaking down complex ideas into easily considered sections. Scheele’s illustrations are lively, animated and engaging, taking the text to a new level of connectivity with the readership.
