`This is a worthwhile book which will be useful to readers. It collects
together key sources on a topic which is a "hardy perennial", guaranteeing
its relevance for academics, researchers, and students on higher level
methods programmes. The editorial contributions are by well-known
authorities in the field, are carefully-constructed, and take a clear
position. I would certainly want this book on my shelf′ - Nigel Fielding, University of Surrey
