 PREFACE

Many people have helped us write this book. We had very helpful
comments during the writing of the book from R. C. Ball, F. Boue, J.
des Cloizeaux, W. Griffin and J. Klein and the manuscript was read by
G. Berry, R. Hayakawa, M. Kurata, Y. Oono, D. Pearson, and E.
Samulski who all made useful improvements to it. We had meticulous
help with the proofs from Fiona Miller and Ed Samulski.
M. D. would like to give special thanks to Dr. Osaki who gave
continual help and encouragement throughout and to the Japan Society
for the Promotion of Science and the Royal Society for making his stay in
Cambridge with S. F. E. in 1984/5 possible when the book was written.
It is a pleasure for S. F. E. to record, with gratitude, that it is now
twenty years since he was introduced to this field by Professor Geoffrey
Gee and Sir Geoffrey Allen; it has proved of abiding interest.
