Abstract
I found no plausible reason to provide the methodological details in every chapter. Since most details are explained here, interspersing repetitive information among them would thus seem meandering, as much as it would interfere with the roundness of tone and register of the narrative. The intended reader of this book is foremost concerned with its contents and less so with the making of them, unless turning the attention purposively to methodology. I should like to suggest that methodology can be read as a book within a larger book, and I have proceeded accordingly.
