Some (non-fiction) books are written by people who have devoted themselves to a field of study & immersed their lives in it; these people are “domain specialists” who write. Other books are written by people who who will write about anything; these people are “writers”. If you are looking for entertainment then “writers” are good, but if you want to develop your understanding then you want a book written by a domain specialist. This is obviously a spectrum so different books are written by people who lie along this spectrum. I read fiction for entertainment but for non-fiction I want a book written by a domain specialist who has something original to say. Unfortunately this book is not one of those. Its light & puffy but has no nourishment.
