At times, the material is presented in a somewhat didactic, repetitive manner. However, this is a minor fault of a book that is otherwise so well written. This work presents an important milestone in the development of thoracic surgery. In additio...

The addition of Masserman's text to the existing volumes has-in spite of the considerable merits of this book-only partly satisfied such a need.

Text visualization aims to provide structural characteristics of text contents in an efficient way. By using massive t...

Bec...

This paper reviews some aspects of Olle et al. [1988]. After an analysis of the terms "method" and "methodology", it is concluded that the book is an exercise in information system (IS) development methodology. We then argue that the aim of the book, the provision of a framework which should help in understanding existing IS development methods, is only partly reached, and that much work toward...
