So its a great thought pleasure to be here giving a lecture on him this evening. I have to share this pleasure with a team of researchers who have helpedme on all my books. Thereare rather small team actually. In fact, it consists of only one person. She writes her own books of course but she always finds time to help me with mine. Id like to say thank you to the only person ive everbeen able to trust with my research , the whole team, my wife.
