Recenzje

'… this book considers how the careers of individuals or interpretive communities do not only transmit ideas to new places and people, but how, once transmitted, ideas flourish in these new networks to generate original ideas, and new legal life.' Ashley Pearson, International Journal for the Semiotics of Law
