i haven't read this book, but i have other books by davies and i think they
are excellent for scientifically-oriented poeple who want an overview
rather than a PhD disseration.  i suspect that the comments on the
cover and endsheets to be hyperbole on the part of the advertising people
who don't really understand what the book is about.
