I ordered that last night, so I'll be able to take a gander at the weekend (I hope). Most of my time is spent reading excavation reports and studying 19th Century books, which doesn't help me keep 'up to date'* with current thinking. Spending so much time on excavation reports gives one a very narrow slice of things. It's great when talking about specific monuments, which is where my main interests lie, but awful when it comes to considering things on a wider scope, which is why I avoid doing so as often as I can. This does bug me somewhat, though, because I occasionally comment on the narrow, regionally biased views of others in some matters.
you will enjoy, its a nice little book.
* often anything after 1950 :-)
