Reviews
"Paul Monod manages to pack in a very great deal and the style is easy, accessible and informative. This, then, is a book to recommend." ( The Journal of the Historical Society , 2010) "This book brings together in one resource information that has previously been available only in small fragments widely distributed throughout the literature of different disciplines and, additionally, highlights the unifying concepts in a very diverse discipline." ( Doody's , February 2010) "The combination of completeness and conciseness with an attractive style is very difficult to master. This is an outstandingly good example of how it ought to be done. It is written in a relaxed, flowing prose, always accessible and often witty, which carries the reader effortlessly forward. ... A book that gives a strong and pleasing impression of a gifted teacher in full command of his subject." ( The International History Review , December 2009)
