Notes

Epigraph: Each culture casts its own shadow, a shadow which is a perfect description of its own form and nature. The shadow which our technological civilisation casts is that of Lilith, the 'maid of desolation' who dances in the ruins of cities. Now that we have made a single polluted city of the entire world, she is preparing to dance in the ruins of our planetary megalopolis.' William Irwin Thompson The Time falling Bodies Take to Light
Dedication: In memoriam Harold Alwin Schiller 1903-1983 David John Williams 1942-1995
