Chronology

Note on Editions

1. The first two editions were published in Britain and used British orthography. Chapters 1, 7 and 16 were copied from this edition. For the 2004 American edition the book was typeset anew – using American orthography. This edition is the basis of the remainder of the text. No attempt has been made by MIA to alter this, so readers may notice slight inconsistencies in spelling between the chapters. A number of minor changes have been made to punctuation and capitalisation.
