This is a short book that is easy to read and that succeeds in presenting its subject in a very informative and constructive way. It combines a useful history of the contributors behind the thinking and developments leading to the books presentation of current understanding of the subject to which it relates and does so in a concise, structured way. Well worth a read and potentially a very successful book.
There is considerable room for debate on the subject with respect to the viewpoint, or at least the breadth of that viewpoint, that is taken; this appears to only skirt the concept of wholeness in the context of existence and is hence seen as taking a somewhat narrow scientifically analytical view.
