' Savitch et al. have done an excellent job, both in their selections and in their commentaries, of giving a solid introduction to a sparsely cultivated but already complex field. They have also done much to foster the dissemination and the comprehension of formal complexity results in liguistics and to encourage accuracy and lucidity in the formulation, presentation, and interpretation of such results.' A. Manaster-Ramer in Computational Linguistics, 14:4 (December 1988)
Cross James Merrill, H. P. Lovecraft, and Carlos Castaneda -each imbued with a twenty-first-century aptitude for quantum theory and existential psychology-and you get the voice of Daniel Pinchbeck. And yet, nothing quite prepares us for the lucidity, rationale, and informed audacity of this seeker, skeptic, and cartographer of hidden realms.
'Mr Taylor, by cutting down to a minimum the ballast of dates and names that so often encumbers historical writing, and concentrating on the fundamental trends and events, has achieved both brevity and lucidity.' - The Observer
