Review Quotes: All the work presented is superlative ... I highly recommend reading the collection in its entirety as this facilitates full appreciation of the thematic overlap amongst the papers ... Ando's sub-topical introductions succeed admirably in articulating important topics and in locating the selected papers within the state of the field ... a challenging, stimulating and worthy book.-- "BMCR"
