Nota aos meus estimado leitores:
Estou dando seguimento à preparação do meu livro em apreço. Abaixo, lhes mostro, em primeira mão, o Summary com os títulos dos capítulos. Ainda tem muito chão para o preparo das divisões maiores obedecendo a temas semelhantes no que tange às partes da obra, da inserção ou exclusão, de novos capítulos que, talvez, não sejam necessários, uma vez que já está de bom tamanho, acima de 400 páginas. Todavia, ainda tem muita coisa a verter ao inglês ou ao francês, a corrigir, rever, melhorar até ficar numa fase de leitura satisfatória. Um bom dia pra Vocês. Cunha e Silva Filho
