'This text will certainly be exceptionally useful in a variety of contexts for a variety of audiences.' - Kevin L. Ladd, PsycCRITIQUES'This book is all about factor analysis (FA), its history, development, developers, theory, applications, and variations during the past 100 years […] a volume full of interesting, both methodological and historical details […] it is not just history. It is also a fresh look at the future [...] The book is worth reading just for curiosity, but many of the chapters will serve well as a supplementary material for courses of these topics.' - Kimmo Vehkalahti, International Statistical Review
