(ccordingly, ' dedicate thisbook to my da&ghter Miss (.).Parikh and my wife Mrs. ).).Parikh also.The former pro%ided contin&ed care, enco&ragement, and comp&ter help which enabled me to compile and complete this book. The latter patientlyac*&iesced my preocc&pation with the project for long ho&rs on most days which left her on her own in a foreign land with hardly any friend. 't has beenin fact my stealing of family time that this project has necessitated. $hile 'say that it will not happen again, they know my fascination for writing, and' know that ' wo&ld not be belie%ed. +espite this, ' want them to knowthro&gh this acknowledgement how m&ch their forbearance and&nderstanding has contrib&ted to the creation of this book, and howessential their spoken and &nspoken s&pport has been to my life and work.
