Closing out June with a banger...

A nonfic with a LOT to chew through.

Last year I bought a book that had an interesting premise, with highly researched contents and page after page of reference material.

I find books like this daunting, even a little intimidating, because doubtless the author is trying to convey something he thinks is really important, something he expects you won’t accept. I may not be anyone’s Sherlock, but I have been on the Internet long enough to know when someone’s feeding you a line.

Drowning someone in references can be a great way to keep them from checking your work, especially if they’re busy. So with that caveat, I’ll say that if I’m taking this book at face value, it’s a head-wrecker, and I’ll be selective with who I tell I’ve read it.

On that note, the book is after the jump.
