Rezension

«Benjamin Wardhaugh's collection of case studies ranging over two centuries does a fine job of bringing to life this complex history. It also, implicitly, suggests a way forward at a time of renewed interest in the field: to overcome the insularity that has caused one leading member to refer to it as a 'ghetto discipline' the field must once again make itself relevant to studies of human life and culture.» (Amir Alexander, Metascience 05/2013)
