Reviews

Peter Liddel and Polly Low have done us all a great service by assembling this extremely useful and well-produced volume of essays ... The volume should become the standard handbook on the subject, and one can only hope that it will be regularly updated. It is difficult to offer anything other than praise for this collection.
