Reviews

“The authors and editor have constructed a table of contents with a dozen understandable chapters. Each elegantly illustrates the progression of the title’s overall subject matter. … Strongly supported by a global menu of authors, the work itself is eloquently composed and replete with current references throughout many of its chapters. … It is easy to enjoy this work–and most readers will. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers.” (L. W. Fine, Choice, Vol. 54 (1), September, 2016)
