ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book touches upon a wide range of scientific disciplines and approaches, geographic areas and historical epochs. I have therefore asked a dozen colleagues and friends to take a critical look at the early manuscripts. Ruud Abma, Vittorio Busato, François Dumoulin, Oda van Ginneken, Arno Goudsmit, Cees Hamelink, Ciska Kessler, Marten Knip, Walther Kok, Ruud Kouijzer, Connie van der Maesen, Dick Pels, Anneke Sookhoo and Pieter van Strien pointed out some inaccuracies and unclarities, which forced me to correct and further clarify the text. Remaining imperfections are my sole responsibility, of course. Editor Pim van Tol of the Dutch publisher once again helped me to shape up the text and came up with the title.
