Recensioner i media

"There is much to admire in this volume and it is impossible to read it without learning a great deal. It is well edited with good cross-referencing, making clear the connections between the chapters. This is an important and welcome book that is likely to define the field for many years to come." ( Journal of the Royal Astronomical Institute , 1 May 2013)
