Abstract
This chapter introduces the intent of the book briefly and then overviews the content of it in a nontrivial manner thus a bit lengthy as an introduction. But, it is hoped that it stimulate a reader to the topics of the book. A new comer might find it a bit challenging for the first reading as an introduction, but one can move on since the topics will be elaborated later in detail.
