I've been doing photography for most of my life. During that time I've fallen into many ruts - picking one or two topics to saturate myself with, or one or two techniques. That's one of the reasons I like this book - it's filled with 70 "lessons" for photography, although I prefer to think of them as 70 "ideas". For example, #21 is a suggestion to shoot film instead of digital - mostly because film forces us to really take the time to compose a shot, rather than clicking off 50 shots in a burst.  He also discusses using the histogram (which I find very useful) as well as getting those great photos that are in your own backyard.A good group of solid ideas for people just starting out in photography, or old hands who have fallen into one too many ruts.
