✦ Synopsis

REVIEWS

poorly connected papers in a multi-authored proceedings. The papers in this book might have been better published in journals. I think the answer to the question, why publish a book?, lies more in the commercial dynamics of publishing than in any intrinsic merit of books as vehicles for interdisciplinary ideas. Books should have clear threads running through them. By their nature, they can offer extended treatment of a subject in depth.
