Abstract
The basics of model building and modelling fundamentals will be reviewed in this chapter. This will provide a vehicle for the discussion of particular aspects of these basics and strengthen the arguments for large models. The necessity of building large models will thus emerge.
Dr Berman’s death on 12 August 1982 precluded his examination of the final paper; see the obituary in the preliminary pages
