     The initiative by Stein Bråten as for creating this
     text-rich site, with main content supplied in 2007, was mainly 
     to make available some manuscripts which either were out of print 
     or which in original form hadn't been published (but rather reworked 
     into other books). 
     
     The manuscripts as here included are not the final proof form,
     and script font is normalised to plain typewriter
     font (without italics, bold or underline), with
     a somewhat varying quality on the image reproduction
     relative to the original. Please refer to the paper-printed
     form also. Note that some of the included material
     (such as images) may have other copyrights in addition
     to the copyright of Stein Bråten.
