Abstract

In this chapter we introduce the reader to the book to its aim, scope, method and contributions, as well as its structure. The chapter starts with a short introduction to the history of bubbles and bubbles’ impact on our daily lives. The method—the theory building strategy—is presented next, highlighting the four essential elements of a complete theory. These are the “what” aspects, the “how” aspects, the contextual “who-where-when” aspects, and the explanation-seeking “why” aspects. We conclude this chapter by providing short descriptions of each subsequent chapter, linking it to the building blocks of a theory.
