Review Quotes: "The editors' aim is to concisely package the book in such a way that it both highlights the diverse ways in which surrogates are utilised, whilst maintaining accessibility for a broad audience... Importantly, the change of authors from chapter to chapter allows for multiple perspectives to be expressed and encourages cross-disciplinary learning."

"Presents a nice and easy-to-read summary of the use of surrogates across disciplines highlighting the overlap and important gaps across fields while also providing a set of relevant references for those interested in knowing more."
