    "The third millennium and the twenty-first century started with the perspectives of dialogues between and among civilizations, cultures and values, for understanding each other better, for expressing to and impressing from each other and for learning from and exchanging experiences to each other. It took two months of hard scientific work to transform this thought into reality, to write this book. This book had been either mixed or presented in very imprecise way."
