This book is a new departure for me. It is not for the material rewards, but has had an impact on and made a contribution to the masses that could very well exceed that of the ivory tower, purely scholarly research I have done before all put together.
這本書對我來說是新開端，不是世俗的收入，而是對大眾的影響與貢獻，可能遠超過我過去三十年所寫的象牙塔、純學術的著作。
