Acknowledgements
It is our pleasure to thank Prof. Angelo Tartaglia for his contribution to the
present book by means of countless stimulating discussions and constructive
advice. Professor Tartaglia co-authored an earlier book 1 with us on modern
physics, and we would have been delighted to have him once again as a coauthor. Unfortunately, this turned out to be impossible, due to a number
of very pressing engagements on his side. In fact, he is currently serving as
leader of one of the work packages of the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI)
Agency Galileo for Science project. In addition, he is involved in several
scientific programmes, such as measurements of dark matter effects and, in
a completely unrelated context, energy sustainability and econometrics. We
wish him success in these new endeavours.
