Rezensionen

'In my opinion, the author has covered a traditionally 'boring field' with vivid description and interesting examples. My overall impression is that this book is comprehensive, illustrative and up-to-date ... and I would certainly recommend it to my students.' Yigong Shi, Princeton University
