Tulane Studies in Zoology and Botany (Volume 18) Book

One star. Absolutely, far and away one of the most difficult books that I have ever attempted to get through. If this doesn't put you to sleep at night, nothing will. It's typical of the time period in that the writer makes an effort to at least sound unbiased but not enough of an effort that his beliefs can't be heard. In that, it wouldn't pass the test of historical neutrality and impartiality today. Don't read this thinking to learn normal history. It's all about theological debates on tiny details within the church.

I think at times the writer wanted to make sure he mentioned at least in passing every single priest of the all the various sects that ever lived during this time period. I hate rating things a one star, but for me, I can't justify rating this as a two star giving that it wasn't even as good as most of the things I give that rating to.
