"The book reviewed here is a perfect example of how such studies should be conducted. All chapters have solid grounding in theory. All are thoroughly researched and heavily referenced; all have long bibliographies appended. Regardless, they do not read as typical research papers but rather as essays, well written, insightful, thought  provoking." - H-Net
