If you’re familiar with the subject, you can tell exactly where the author is going to go with it. I’ve been working on and teaching this material for about 20 years, and I’ve applied it against quite a diverse number of areas.

I’m not learning anything new from the book, but simply reading a well-assembled argument as to why it should become a dominant paradigm.
