Relazione

"Dieser State-of-the-art-Band gliedert ein schwer überschaubares multidisziplinäres Gebiet, formuliert Vorschläge für weitere mögliche Theoriebildung und Forschungsrichtungen, bietet Lösungen zu Problemen und regt zu weiteren Reflexionen an, wodurch er eine gute Aufnahme bei Forschern, Praktikern und Studierenden finden kann."
