Anyone own a copy of "Cookwise: The Secrets of Cooking Revealed" by Shirley Corriher?

If you do, how is it? Is it worth picking up for a culinary arts beginner?

I am not familiar with her book, but she has has some fascinating articles in the New York Times on cooking science. Alton Brown has also had her as a guest on some shows.

I've got a copy and it's a good book, but I'd put it more in the league with Alton Brown's "Food+Heat=Cooking" than McGee's "On food and cooking". It's chatty, with a few decent recipes and some food science thrown in for good measure around each recipe, but it's not the reference book you go back to like McGee.
