Reviews

`Review from previous edition The author deserves to be congratulated on the production of what soon will establish itself as a well-respected and useful book which I am pleased to have on my shelf. In short, it would be difficult to conceive of any initial course of instruction and study on the subject EL which would not benefit from use of this well-planned and conceived and refreshing presentation.
