In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments This book took a while to appear. By the time I had almost given up hope, the proofs arrived. However, it probably would never have appeared had it not been for the help and support of a number of people. I owe gratitude to more than those mentioned here, but I feel I have to mention a few, not necessarily in any significant order. My gratitude goes to Mr. Dušan Puvačić and Mr. Stephen Meyer for their generous support and help with the manuscript. I am more than grateful to Mr. Patrick Miles who never hesitated to help not only with the manuscript, but also with proofreading and some ‘technical’ details. I am grateful to Professor Henry R. Cooper, Jr. whose interest, I am sure, helped speed up the process of publishing. And last, but not least, my thanks go to Mrs. Vicki Polansky, Managing Editor of Slavica, who worked meticulously and patiently on the manuscript. Above all I am eternally grateful to my beloved husband Edward Dennis Goy, the author of this book, whose love and devotion, even posthumously, gave me strength to put this book together.
