Abstract : To sum up then, as mentioned in the beginning of this review, the Editors have accomplished an arduous task. They have attempted to summarize the contributions in their Introduction, which is a useful guide for anyone who wants to have a glimpse of what the different contributions are all about. However, when it comes to the organization of the volume they seem to have set neither a rigorous editorial plan nor any scientific requirement for inclusion in the Festschrift; probably taking extra-scientific factors into consideration. They have failed, I believe, in accommodating the contributions in their rightful places, thus unjustifiably devising three arbitrary sections in the volume as if to promote a three-in-one mixed-bag.
