Reviews
The book serves its purpose by touching on a variety of topics and providing not only a wide overview, but specific, thoughtful details in each chapter ... . The intended audience is researchers, research students, academics, and practitioners. ... It was refreshing to see each chapter follow a similar format that set up clear expectations for learning each topic. The writing for the most part is clear and concise, making the book enjoyable and straightforward. (Paige M Nahod, Doody's Book Reviews, August 6, 2021)
