Recensioner i media

Overall, the volume is successful in fulfilling its editors’ aims, i.e. to provide a forum for dialogue between SLA and WM research and to further integrate the two fields. The diversity and reach of the field is amply demonstrated by the range of empirical bases it covers. By including a range of opinions on how to move the WM–SLA field forward, the volume can serve as inspiration for future research programs, thus contributing to the already highly dynamic interface between WM and SLA research.
