ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I wish to thank K, and M, without whose advice, encouragement and unflagging support this book could never have been written; Dr Jack Dempsey, USA, whose professional editing and dialogue helped so much to make it readable; the writers Denis Miller and Paul Stirling for their insights and contribution; Graham Rendoth and Ingrid Urh of Reno Design for their professionalism and patient understanding; and Simon Hart for his enthusiastic and expert contribution in designing the author’s website.

Any remaining flaws are entirely my own.
