We are always suspicious of books that make such use as this one does of long and less often used words. Looking back at the change that has taken place in the last 40 years one has to be more surprised by what has occurred than the resistance to it occurring. One wonders how we could exist if we were not creatures of habit and clearly there is going to be resistance to changing habits, if only because of the mental effort required. Perhaps it is the increasing rate of change that finds resistance. Your reviewer feels able to write in this way because by nature he embraces change and sometimes finds that he is wrong in having done so. Perhaps his only resistance is to books on resistance to new technology written in somewhat difficult language.
