Critical assessment This book is written by different

experts with different backgrounds, which highlights the

interdisciplinarity of this field. The chapters are approximately

the same length and structure and are all of high

quality. References are cited extensively, which helps

interested readers to access more details about the contents

of each chapter. The book gives a good overview about

current developments but does not deal too much with
