Its highly regarded book reviewer and editor Stuart Rosebrook, PhD, wrote, “The end result of Peterson’s introspective jour- ney as an author, scientist and Westerner is his publication of the most reflective philosophical history of American history published in the past 50 years.” Peterson is also the recipient of the C.M.
