Reviews

Langer has brought to light ideas of astonishing depth, exactness, power and reach... The emanations may well leave their trace on all of us.

A great and beautiful work of genius... A conceptual scheme of such radiance that no one who wishes to think deeply about mentality and behavior will be able to do without it.
