", and analyze" over against ", analyzing"

Describing the book clearly

Whilst looking for the ISBN of the first edition, I came across this description on a 2nd-hand dealer's page:

[Rollo] analyzes the pressures that have arisen in today's transitional period between the old world and the new, the forces that lead to a general malaise, impersonality, a sort of dehumanization.

Although perhaps written a bit above the level of the average reader, this has the advantage of actually giving a clear description of the book -- something that the current turgid & oblique prose is lacking. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 06:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
