    ON READING THIS BOOK

    What lies in this book is perhaps more important as a 
    whole than in its details. If you only have an hour to 
    spend on it, it makes much more sense to read the whole 
    book roughly in that hour, than to read only the first two
    chapters in detail. For this reason, I have arranged each 
    chapter in such a way that you can read the whole chapter 
    in a couple of minutes, simply by reading the headlines
    which are in italics. If you read the beginning and end of 
    every chapter, and the italic headlines that lie between 
    them, turning the page almost as fast as you can, you 
    will be able to get the overall structure of the book in 
    less than an hour.
       Then, if you want to go into detail, you will know
    where to go, but always in context of the whole.
