Recenzje

'The cover of this book makes me want to eat [a peach], and will make many people want to read the book. Covers can and do sell books, and this book should rightfully be judged by its cover: it is an exceptional piece of historical scholarship on so many levels.' Sterling Evans, Enterprise & Society
