A fantastic comment, which is testament to the quality of the team of chapter authors! Thankyou.
"The one thing that stood out to me early on in this book, was the full range of experts that had contributed, which is amazing. I very much liked the way the chapters overlapped, but were still in keeping with the subject matter. A great book - long over due." - Jason Sadler, Swansea University📙
