Reviews

This book should appeal to all researchers in the area, broadly defined, who would like to learn more about activities in programs similar to their own and gain exposure to those taking different conceptual or methodological approaches. The book should also appeal to interested graduate students and advanced undergraduates, perhaps stimulating some practical ideas as their own research interests begin to develop.With supplemental reading, the volume could provide the foundation for an exciting advanced seminar. Some of the chapters are outstanding in every sense, and these alone make investment in the volume worthwhile.-AJMR
