4.0

How does one rate an anthology? If a few essays really stand out (Plumwood's "Being Prey," Muir's "Anthropocentrism and Predation," Turner and Cronon's competing views on wilderness/wildness, and more) should I give it five stars? If some of it falls flat and not every essay excites me do I blame the anthology (3 stars!!) or do I in fact commend the anthology for including a wide range of views? In the end, I rate four stars as a cop-out, but when you think about it the star rating system is really kind of arbitrary.
