What an incredible job of research, and I can’t say enough about how well-written it is. The writing style is scholarly but without jargon. It will be accessible to all audiences. I also particularly appreciate the extensive background research and theoretical grounding that guides each chapter. A wonderful book - bravo! – Sharon R.
