Rezensionen

'The concise presentation of complex information in introductory form is a great talent... The fact that all chapters of the book are consistently clear and readable as introductions to the non-specialist is impressive. That they challenge us conceptually and push at the boundaries of our understanding as well as our knowledge is more so.' --Reference Reviews
