As noted by Professor Chang Chenguang, Editor of the M.A.K.

It provides a unique perspective on the theoretical development and future outlooks of SFL, as well as Matthiessens own interpretations of the theory. It also enriches our understanding of SFL and is a very useful addition to the series."
