Acknowledgements
In a collective effort such as this book has been, it is hard to know where to begin with acknowledgements. I owe much to many. I therefore acknowledge my debt to all the people who contributed richly to my research and thinking over the past several years. Firstly the people with whom I lived and from whom I learnt much during field trips. Secondly, the people with whom I had fruitful discussions and arguments, sometimes in academic environments, sometimes over a bottle of wine in a distant country. I do not mention the names here, but they can be assured that in my mind, none of them are nameless or faceless, as each one has given something unique. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Prof. Liora Bresler, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, U. S. A. and editor of this
