'A 'Festschrift' is traditionally published to honor a prominent academic upon a significant birthday. This book does exactly that. This incredible collection of chapters honors our late colleague, Fons van de Vijver, who was a true champion of quantitative comparative psychology. It is unbelievably sad that Fons cannot read it himself.' Klaus Boehnke, President of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology and Professor of Social Science Methodology, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany
