Editorial Reviews

...[T]he book is not really designed to be read through at one time from beginning to end. It is really more of a "handbook," or resource text, as Franzmann herself seems to recognize....While one might well question the value of an ahistorical synthetic approach to such a complex collection, the book makes a contribution to the current discussion of those NH issues Franzmann addresses.
