Paperback. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. This is the second edition of a work first published in 1976. It has received excellent reviews. In the seventeen years since it appeared, new techniques have been developed and applied to the subject which has developed enormously. It has not been easy to cover this explosion of info…rmation and still keep the size of the volume within reason.
