Article Abstract

Because this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.

Monographs offer consistent writing style, fine crossreferencing between chapters, and even coverage of each chapter’s material, but they risk the limitations of an author’s expertise. The present monograph proves all of the advantages and demolishes the risk: eloquent clarity eases reading, seamless integrity minimizes redundancy, and mastery assures excellence throughout. Thankfully there is no expansive selfaggrandizement, as seen when chapter contributors try to advance new data under the guise of an accepted concept.
