Reviews

[Andy Todd · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is, I admit, a specialist and recherché topic - although with my recent 'job change', it is perhaps more directly relevant to me! It is well-written, especially the earlier and later chapters, but the nature of the work allows for some repetitive comments and structures in an attempt to be exhaustive. Useful indices for future reference but it is definitely a specialist's text.
