Rezensionen

Andy Kirkpatrick, Griffith University, Australia was very supportive: it is clearly important and valuable.. it is a strong proposal with wide coverage and sensible sectional divisions and possible chapters.

He just suggested adding an early chapter called something like 'Clearing the Air' in which the debate, controversies and challenges surrounding ELF are discussed and critiqued.
