The included information is particularly based on the publications of the late professor, and was particularly collected through the various types of communication (personal visits with lengthy and extensive discussions, professional meetings, letters, telephone-calls, words of relatives and friends, etc.) Dr. Roussos had with and about him in the last 14 years.
