'This latest Routledge Companion provides an invaluable, wide-ranging survey of an interdisciplinary field which is fundamental to understanding accounting in the past and the present. Unusually for a work of synthesis, the chapters also explore new terrains, inspire future research agendas and offer critical interpretations. The book will prove of considerable interest to accounting students, researchers, educators, practitioners and policy-makers alike.'
