I didn't quote large pieces of evidence to support my points. I did not include footnotes or small explanatory sections which would have distracted the reader's attention. I wanted to produce a book which was readable. Everything I wrote about is documented, and its points are still applicable today.
我沒有引述大批證據來支持我的論點，沒有註腳、沒有小小的段落說明來分散讀者的注意力，因為我要它是一本可讀的書，有所根據，而且所提供的啟示在今天仍然適用。
