ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Editing a book with
contributors from different
countries is an exciting
adventure. Many thanks to
all of them, who have been
generous in accepting some
relooking of their original
articles. Thus, the editorial
board is squarely responsible
for any errors which would
have gone through the sifter of
our numerous rereadings.
Special thanks to Ahmed
Baroudi, without whom this
human adventure would not
have existed. And to those who
helped us make it come true:
