Taken together, the collection shows the development of the discipline, providing a solid historiographical, theoretical and methodological overview that will be invaluable for students. The book provides a unique sense of how, at different times, in different cultural circumstances, students of the past have approached the problems of encompassing the world in a single narrative or theory." --Back cover.
