More about the book

The book presents a comprehensive international manual developed through extensive collaboration among eighty-one contributors from ten countries. It addresses the necessity of documenting the "state of the art" in rapidly evolving research fields, particularly when previous reviews may be insufficient. The project, initiated in 1998, highlights the unique challenges of creating such a manual, emphasizing the importance of thorough assessment and compelling presentation. Contributions from notable scholars ensured a robust foundation for the sixty-two topics covered in this extensive work.
