Customer Review: The order was supposed to arrived by Sept. 2. Still waiting for it and Maxbooks doesn't respond to our inquiry. Will call the credit card to put a stop payment on it.
Customer Review: I really enjoyed this book. Often, people seem to think the problems of the modern world are new and insurmountable issues. This book shows the cycle of life is just that, a cycle.
