  • If you are interested in an ATR or even are interested in the study of these systems this is a great intro with a more personal aspect than a book. I believe my finding this podcast while I research was Spirit lead and I thank you Dr. Asanee for your thoughts and opinions on your experiences and personal musings in ATRs. As expected this is not a one size fits all for every ATR, but rather a personal account that is refreshing, honest, and heartfelt. Asè
