![]() ![]() I regret having spent the money to buy this work. The cross-references are typically imprecise, to a large section, and it is not always obvious what was meant. There are many cross-references to other sections of the text that may well be in the other volume, and all of the references are at the end of the second volume. In addition, the huge size makes for a user unfriendly document. Cognitive science in Europe and Asia are neglected. That is why I characterize it as a memoir.ĭespite the huge size, coverage is limited to North America and the UK. I found numerous inaccuracies in the areas I know well. Furthermore, it does not meet the accuracy standards that one would hope for in a history. ![]() There are major irrelevant digressions into hobby horse topics of the author's, such as early efforts to make automata. This two volume work is so huge because it is an apparently unedited text with a wandering associative organization (or disorganization), no apparent limits on what is included.
