Review

..". I am delighted to say that Carlowicz and Lopez have provided an accurate and highly readable account of the subject. ... Indeed, even though I am in the field, I read the book in one go; I could not put it down. They approach a good number of active researchers who are well respected in the field ... and this puts a human face on the book. Their coverage is quite complete. ... They use simple terms, which makes the book readable for most interested readers, not necessarily just those with a scientific background. ... All in all, a job well done--and that is said by someone who was initially a skeptic!"
