Good primer but not for those who know the area

It’s Ok as an intro but not if you are looking for depth and wider perspectives

Could be better than that

The author takes you there and walks you around. What could be greater than that! While one would love to go and see things first hand, regrettably for some of us that just isn't in the tags financially. Keep up the good work CH and I'll keep listening.
