Query: flawed, incomplete selections

James is wonderful and to the extent that this volume contains many of his important writings, it is wonderful. However, because the volume does not include the crucial "Essays in Radical Empiricism" or the key chapters/essays from either "Principles of Psychology" or "The Will to Believe" it is very incomplete. Readers interested in James would do better to pick up a copy of the "Writings of William James" edited by John J. McDermott (whose own introduction to James is also far superior to that of the editor of this volume).
