We are delighted with the thought-provoking contributions from the highly distinguished authors of this edition who have demonstrated skill and originality in their analyses. The range of articles presented herein represents the international temperament of our journal. Furthermore, the wide distribution and accessibility of this journal will maximize its readership and broaden its reach.”
