reviewed Urban informality on September 29, 2016 Urban informality
If to briefly describe, I'd say: "the fierce species"
Let me to approach it on unconventional way without getting into description about the structure, the style and other performances of the book. There is nothing in this book that I'd sort as an original discovery, unfortunately. It is just the dark side of the nature, we call- human, and if we'd approve to continue our life based on the evolutionary law of natural selection, then this topic would be for no interest for the society. But perhaps, shortly after, the wanderer we know as Earth would be much peaceful without the poached hypersexual, fierce humans as we'd hardly survive the aftermath of the thermonuclear war. That far are we from the expected degree of civilization compared to the level of technological development. We are not out of danger, and I'd like to salute to the author, and in same time to express appreciation that some of us are on that stage of consciousness that can and dare to recognize and publish these "dangerous correlations".
