Recenzje

'Comprehensiveness combined with successful brevity makes the book a valuable reference volume. An important contribution of the book is to point out studies that qualify or contradict results of past studies that have been given prominence and may have come to be regarded as having provided definitive answers to important questions. The book is suitable for researchers who want a succinct introductory overview as well as for researchers in the field who want to ensure that they have not missed essential questions and contributions.'
