I really loved this book from the beginning to somewhere near the end. I would have given this book a solid five but the ending almost ruined the entire book for me. All throughout the book we are given hints that Joseph Gray has a huge secret. The secret is built up in importance through the entire book. At the end you find this secret has not only been over hyped, but, to put it frankly, is kinda dumb. For me the ending took away an important part of the book. It is definitely worth reading, but don't get your hopes up about a solid ending.

As it turns out, making beer isn't hard to do if you have a stove, some basic equipment, and a little time on your hands.

And if making beer isn't enough, the chapter on evaluation will teach even the most pedestrian beer drinker to critically analyze homebrews like a pro.

Kelli Perkins Library Journal : "The 450 articles have been written by an impressive array of world scholars, creating an appropriately global perspective. A brief time line of politics and helpful glossary of terms are appended, along with a reader's guide and index. . . . The work is a solid and lasting contribution to the understanding of the issues that divide us politically. Highly recommended for its readability, scholarly content, and uniqueness."
This popular book helps bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information, and the greater challenge of critical analysing the things we are told and read. It gives strategies for responding to alternative points of view and will help readers develop a solid foundation for making personal choices about what to accept and what to reject.
