Recenzii
An interesting collection of academic treatments of areas of performance that perhaps do not get as much attention, which has to be welcomed.
Richly detailed ... This book will provide a valuable starting point for those seeking to orient themselves in the field, and its accessible written style makes it ideal for undergraduates.
