Beschreibung:As I review these pages, the last of them written in Summer 1978, some retrospective thoughts come to mind which put the whole business into better perspective for me and might aid the prospective reader in choosing how to approach this volume. The most conspicuous thought in my mind at present is the diversity of wholly independent explorations that came upon phase singularities, in one guise or another, during the past decade. My efforts to gather the published literature during the last phases of actually writing a whole book about them were almost equally divided between libraries of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine, and Physics. A lot of what I call "gathering " was done somewhat in anticipation in the form of cönjecture, query, and prediction based on analogy between developments in different fields. The consequence throughout 1979 was that our long-suffering publisher repeatedly had to replace such material by citation of unexpected flurries of papers giving substantive demonstration. I trust that the authors of these many excellent reports, and especially of those I only found too late, will forgive the brevity of allusion I felt compelled to observe in these substitutions. A residue of loose ends is largely collected in the index under "QUERIES. " It is clear to me already that the materials I began to gather several years ago represented only the first flickering of what turns out to be a substantial conflagration
