- Note
- "The cover contains a fragment of a Tigua painting (private collection) by Juan Luis Cuyo, showing the intricate links between
nature and humanity in the Andes. Naturally we have tried to contact Juan Luis Cuyo concerning the copyright of his painting,
but unfortunately we did not succeed. Since this thesis is not for commercial purposes we feel we have made fair use of it
and we hope that he is pleased that we brought it to the attention of the scientific community."--P. 183.
