Some good, some bad

Some of the essays in this book were interesting and enjoyable; they really made me think. other essays were really difficult to understand-they were basically from academics who seemed more concerned with sounding important than with actually getting their point across in a timely manner. overall though, I would still recommend the book since most of it is very interesting.
