Williams has presented an exceptional and comprehensive case
outlining the necessity and limitations for learning in social
settings. It's what makes us human; the capacity to do things for
and with others. A powerful take away - communities need to be
small enough for members to form positive relationships. Powerful
message - well worth the read!

I couldn't put this book down at my first read and will be
re-reading it many times. I highly recommend it as a compelling and
riveting read, as well as wise and reassuring guidance for anyone
who cares about the future of our species.
