If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.
You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.
Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
I got it from my local library system, which has 28 physical copies (more than half are checked out) and 4 audiobooks. The branch library is two blocks from my house so I get most of my books from there. Hope this helps because I loved the book - I'm not a historian and knew nothing of that period.
