Recenzje

"The work is able to provide definitive conclusions in some cases where previously there had only been surmise." (Associate Professor Rod Fisher, University of Canterbury)
"The subject matter is very interesting, even gripping, and is presented with a lucidity that makes it a highly readable as well as erudite work." (Dr. Margaret Sutherland, Victoria University of Wellington)
