This book is remarkable for its clarity of theory, the crystalline writing style, the beautiful use of vast amounts of quite different sorts of evidence, the way it draws the reader in with humor and irony and the careful politics of analysis. These qualities, I have found, make it an exemplary resource for both graduate and undergraduate teaching. I love to teach this book because it teaches all the right things.
