Recenzje

"Leimgruber’s expertise in the field of geographical marginality is undeniable due to his scientific and teaching activity, materialized through numerous achievements. The content of the book is of high quality. It is well structured, and the text is easy to read, including illustrations with maps, schemes and tables, which make it accessible to several categories of readers (students, researchers and the general public). […] This book made a fundamental contribution to knowledge in geographical marginality, as evidenced by subsequent citations, and remains very useful for those interested in this field of research." — Gabriel Camară, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi, Romania, Regional Studies (2020)
