Klappentext

Copyright should probably read c2013. However, it must be noted that what is (probably) an earlier version of this book really was published in 2003. However, this could possibly be a republication of the earlier book, although the pagination doesn't quite match. In favor of this argument is the fact that none of the book's references date after 2003.
