Of all the Paleo primers I've read, this one far exceeds the others in research, solid information, history, comparison of the Paleo diet with other popular diets, and terse, clear, to the point no fluff delivery. I, like another reviewer, might caution against using agave syrup (mentioned in one of the recipes). While there is much hype in natural health circles about agave, it can be worse than high fructose corn syrup. There are better options, such as stevia products, xylitol in small amounts (poisonous to pets, however) or glucose (sold as dextrose) which can easily be found on Amazon. I would also have appreciated a few photos of the recipes. But, all-in-all, an excellent book. Highly recommended as an introduction to the Paleo concept and selection of allowable foods.
