Reviews

This book is the proceedings of a workshop that was held at the Sexten Centre for Astrophysics, Bolzano, in 2013 July, to assess the current impact of the new tool, the improvements that it has made, and the further improvements that it is likely to make. ... the reviews are extremely useful for guiding scientists interested in only the broader aspects of the subject through areas about which they might be particularly curious. (Douglas Gough, The Observatory, Vol. 135 (1249), December, 2015)
