The interesting quality dervies in large part from many chapters' uncommon approach to a regional survey text. In these chapters you will not always find the typical summary of current research in an area or time period with the author's latest contribution attached to the end. Instead, many of the authors present research that moves in a very different direction from past work.\" \u003ci\u003eEthan E.
