Reviews

[Kara · Rating 2 out of 5]

An attempt to put a multi-day, multi-panel conference into book form doesn't really work, given how much it jumps around in topic, trying to cover everything, as well as having disagreeing voices on the numerous subjects.

[Noel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a collection of conference papers; some are more interesting than others. It is a VERY slow read.
