Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Like its predecessor, this Companion is a truly comprehensive work. Considering both the price and the size, it is remarkable how comprehensive a work this is. In addition, this is a truly accessible work; all the contributors, as well as the editors, deserve high praise for their efforts. Particularly useful and comprehensive is the Further reading [section], which closes the volume. This second edition is an improvement on what was already an outstanding work. In this reviewer's opinion, no library should be without [it], given especially the wide public to which it will appeal.' Simone Bacchini, Reference Reviews
