Recenzje

Much scholarly writing seems like a bare tree festooned with strings of citations. Dresser's argument flows on its own, and the reader can travel on its currents; the references help guide the flowwithout demanding notice. What this accomplishes is straightforward: it makes the book accessible and potentially interesting to many audiences, from institutional review board (IRB) reading groups to students at many levels to clinicians learning to be investigators.
