“It is a work that I would certainly consider using for undergraduates and for postgraduate foundational units. Maria Pascuzzi has written as an experienced educator with the clarity, balance, and sound scholarship I have come to expect. The layout is clear and very helpful for students and the questions that accompany each section are both focused and helpful. Maria is always well researched and her scholarship shines through without overburdening the nonspecialist. She is to be warmly congratulated on a job well done, and I hope that this volume gets the recognition it deserves.”
