Pre-Publication Review Comments

I have enjoyed the reflexive journey very much, learned a lot
and been excited to learn more. What else can one say of a well
written and thought provoking book? . . . This is a book that is
well overdue. I think it will attract a lot of interest -
especially from those intrigued by methodology. I look forward to
introducing my students to this text and I wish the editors every
success.
