This unique image was created with special-effects photography. Photographs ofa broken
road, an office building, and a rusted object were superimposed to achieve the effect of
a faceted pyramid on a futuristic plain. It originally appeared in a slide show called "Fossils
of the Cyborg: From the Ancient to the Future," produced by Synapse Productions, San
Francisco. Because this image evokes a fusion of classicism and dynamism, the future and
the past, it was chosen as the logo for the Advanced Book Classics series.

Publisher's Foreword
"Advanced Book Classics" is a reprint series which has come into being as a direct result
of public demand for the individual volumes in this program. That was our initial criterion
for launching the series. Additional criteria for selection of a book's inclusion in the series
include:
• Its intrinsic value for the current scholarly buyer. It is not enough for the book to
have some historic significance, but rather it must have a timeless quality
attached to its content, as well. In a word, "uniqueness."
• The book's global appeal. A survey of our international markets revealed that
readers of these volumes comprise a boundary less, worldwide audience.
• The copyright date and imprint status of the book. Titles in the program are
frequently fifteen to twenty years old. Many have gone out of print, some are
about to go out of print. Our aim is to sustain the lifespan of these very special
volumes.
We have devised an attractive design and trim-size for the "ABC" titles, giving the series
a striking appearance, while lending the individual titles unifying identity as part of the
"Advanced Book· Classics" program. Since "classic" books demand a long-lasting
binding, we have made them available in hardcover at an affordable price. We envision
them being purchased by individuals for reference and research use, and for personal and
public libraries. We also foresee their use as primary and recommended course materials
for university level courses in the appropriate subject area.
The "Advanced Book Classics" program is not static. Titles will continue to be
added to the series in ensuing years as works meet the criteria for inclusion which we've
imposed. As the series grows, we naturally anticipate our book buying audience to grow
with it. We welcome your support and your suggestions concerning future volumes in the
program and invite you to communicate directly with us.
