Field of Pennsylvania. Without his motivational prodding, generous support, caustic but productive criticism, and his conviction that this book was needed to fi ll a long-existing gap, it might never have been completed. Next, I wish to thank my wife Elnina, who keeps an orderly and clean house, for putting up with endless months of boxes, piles of papers, and books cluttering up the family environment. I owe thanks to several colleagues and friends who volunteered to read a chapter or two and helped to weed out my mistakes.
