I just want to give some words of caution to the future buyer. I bought this book out of intellectual curiosity. I wanted to learn more about the relationship between politics and nature. At the time I bought this book it only had favorable reviews. I read the first two chapters of the book with much difficulty. I found Dr. Latour's writing hard to understand and make sense out of. His writing is fantastic in the sense that he knows what he is talking about but it was extremely difficult for me to understand it. I am not sure if this had anything to do with the translation.



After the two chapters I gave up the reading and picked up another book to read (one of R. Dahl's). Now I do not want to blame Latour or his translator for my lack of making sense of the content, but for those who do not have an appropriate background on Latour's translated work, this book might be of extreme difficulty to grasp.



However, because I wanted this book to be known to other people I ended up giving it to a retired college math professor who might understand or appreciate Latour's work.
