Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage: "Im Vergleich zur 1. Auflage von 1994 ist den Herausgebern bei dieser Auflage sprichwörtlich ein neuer 'Anstrich' gelungen. ... Aufgrund neuer Beiträge ist es umfassend und beleuchtet das Thema aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. ... Das Buch vermittelt einen umfassenden Überblick, geht aber auch bei bestimmten Themen in die Tiefe. Zu Beginn jedes Beitrags stehen die 'key messages', welche die wichtigsten Aussagen hervorheben. ... Schon allein für das Filmmaterial auf der DVD lohnt es sich, das Buch zu kaufen."
