Acknowledgments

This work would not have been possible without the invaluable help of the IULA and fundamentally of the members of the IULATERM group of which Teresa Cabré is a member. Besharat Fathi, Sheila Queralt and Steven Norris have participated in its translation into English and Steven Norris has also been responsible for its linguistic revision. Mercè Lorente has coordinated the entire translation process and, with Mariona Arnau, Elisabet Llopart and Jorge M. Porras-Garzón, has taken on the tasks of editing the volume.
