'..Each of the chapters, which can be read in any order, serves as a discrete and basic introduction to both the thinker under discussion and his or her interpretation of Nietzsche. Written at a level accessible to readers who have already done some grappling of their own with Nietzsche, all chapters are helpfully followed by an up-to-date, annotated bibliography to aid further reading.' -- Choice * Choice *
