Without the great efforts of all the authors, advances in this book would not have
been possible, and I am sure that their valuable contributions will increase the
significance of the book. To meet Springer’s high-quality standards, it would not
have been possible to produce this book and make it a reality without their patience
and effort in writing and revising the various versions. All appreciation and gratitude must be extended to include all members of the Springer team who have
worked long and hard to make this volume a reality for researchers, graduate
students, and scientists worldwide. I have to thank all the experts who contributed
to the chapter review processes. I hope it has widely read. If we want to avoid past
misunderstandings, then we need to change direction and start taking advantage
of the knowledge base of scientists. We did not have that opportunity a decade ago.
Now it is the right time.
The editors strongly welcome to receive feedback and comments from the
audiences to improve the future editions.
