Publisher Description

1. Introduction If searching for an epithet for the Zeitgeist of the opening years of the twenty-first century, then the word "fun" might well be suitable. Typing "fun" into the search engine Google in finds no less than 662,000,000 websites (and in comparison, "sex" achieved only 655,000,000 hits; all search engine figures at August 2009).
