Abstract

"Anyone who has ever read or written a preface knows that it serves two purposes. First, it seeks to put the reader at ease and to introduce the major themes of the book. Second, it serves to remind the author at the end of a lengthy enterprise why it was that he began it, and enables him to tot up the credits and debits (mainly the latter) he has accumulated while on leave from the rest of his life. I will try to do both of these things at once..." - Preface
