Acknowledgements

This book was published in Georgia in 2006. After more than ten years, I’ve encouraged myself to make an English version of the book and offer it to the international reader. This could not have been achieved without the help and support of my colleagues and family. I would like to take this opportunity to convey my deep appreciation toward them: editor of the Georgian text – Merab Gaganidze, my dear friend and Professor of Tbilisi Free University, also, reviewers – Professor Rusudan Tsanava, Prof. Inga Milorava and Prof. Konstantine Bregadze.

Special thanks to late Ariann Tchanturia to whom this book is dedicated, the first translator of all my scholarly articles and books, a talented and humble man, who was devoted to his job and professional responsibilities.

It is my pleasure to express special gratitude to the Publishing House, Tbilisi State University, for their support in the first Georgian publication of the book in 2006.

Special thanks should be extended to my respectable colleague Sadao Tsukui, professor of Osaka University in the 1990s, whose support was utmost in the beginning of this project as well as the process of international presentation of separate parts of the book. His opinion and recommendations were essential.

And in the end, I would like to thank my dear husband, Kakhaber Kordzaia, for being patient and supportive throughout all the years that I worked on this book.
