"There is a palpable sense of excitement from the editors of
each volume that this is a critical period in the development of
the field. The four volumes are edited by leading scholars in the
field, who have carefully selected the volumes' contributing
authors for their ability to summarise their topics succinctly, and
tease out the issues that are likely to be the focus of research in
the coming period. As with previous editions, this new edition of
the Handbook will be a lodestar for practitioners and
researchers in the field."
