   Daston presents a compelling narrative. Some sections were slow. I enjoyed the discussions around divine mandates.

   Interesting concept, but I found it dry at times. The historical examples were compelling, but the analysis felt a bit academic.

   A comprehensive overview of rules throughout history. A bit long, but worth the effort if you’re genuinely interested in the subject.
