Abstract

This chapter is very wide ranging in its scope and it is therefore necessary to deal with some aspects less rigorously than others, but in these cases the reader will be referred to other sources for more detailed information. However, within the limitations of space available, the subject has been dealt with quite extensively and is supported by relevant case studies, which it is believed will of interest and value to the reader.
