While is an interesting book by itself, I think the wide range of writers, specialties and different articles could have been arranged better to have more synergy between articles. The articles range from basic subjects like introducing terminology in simple enough language to a lay person, to very specialized essays about the discussions relevant at the moment to an specific field.
