Extensive references (easy to read as footnotes rather than endnotes) and extensive appendices after each chapter mean that you can easily engage at whatever level you want... This is a reference book of huge breadth and great quality that is well worth the investment, and a great contribution to a more peaceful world. ― Marion Birch, Medicine, Conflict and Survival (27:2)
