Hello, Mr. Wet Blanket here:

First, thanks for the post.

This seems to be the second, 2011, edition of this book.

Knowledge in the "hard" sciences increases, and often changes, exponentially, such that I generally will not buy a book in that field of study unless I plan to read it within, say, two years of its date of copyright. I cut a little more slack to the "soft" sciences.

On the other hand, _$2.99_ seems like a great price for this book above. The collection of photos, drawings, and paintings alone might be worth that price.

Just some thoughts . . . .
