Rezensionen

"All chapters of the book amount to an impression of a surprisingly consistent sum of articulations, which do provide new insights into the book's enormously challenging subject matter. Therefore, the book sets up a new benchmark of dealing with the urgently needed sharpening of knowledge and understanding of its topics and problems."
