The material below is from a
draft of the book (March 2010) that was
published by the CUP in 2011. There were some revisions
(quite substantial at few places)
and some more material was added, especially in Part
VIII. Also the title is now shorter than
the one in the draft.
The symbol index is weak here regarding Chapter 22 and Part VIII,
and the general and the name indices are not even compiled here yet.
In other words, the draft should give an idea
of the contents and the style of the book but it cannot replace the
published version.
I will appreciate comments on all aspects of this work.
Pdf and ps files.
Preface only.
