FOREWORD Károly Bárd has not only built and continues to build a lasting foundation for our profession, but always writes in a comprehensible, smooth and interesting way. As he put it in the retrospective interview: “I truly believe that it is possible to write plainly about complex professional issues without lowering the standards of the text. To me, the highest form of recognition is when the layperson enjoys reading my work, even though he doesn’t quite understand it.” I hope that both the wider readership will enjoy and understand, or not fully understand but read this book, and the professionals will rifle through the pages of these two volumes with great satisfaction. But above all, I hope that our most important reader, Karoly Bard will receive this volume with as much pleasure as it gave us putting it together for him. Frankfurt am Main, 7 May 2021 «17 «
