Abstract
This book’s variety of purpose was played down when Chapter N1 put forward a modern synthesis centered around the concept of self-affine variability. This chapter, to the contrary, describes how the reprints classified into Parts II, III and IV fit together historically. It also examines conceptual connections and relevant historical events; all assertions are documented.
