I was very excited about finding this book, but it was obvious about 10 pages into it that it wasn't well done. I don't like giving bad reviews but I had to wonder who (if anyone) had edited this book.

Ideas were repeated ad nauseum (in the first two chapters! I couldn't bear to continue). The section on the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 didn't really seem focused and the author didn't advance her premise at all...

Sigh.
