It is a comprehensive collection of chapters written by leading authorities in the field. It covers all the above-listed areas and has many fine qualities. The editors clearly demonstrate that the study lends itself to a multidisciplinary approach. Each chapter is introduced by a background section that acquaints the reader with the concepts underlying the material that follows.
