Acknowledgements

      Any undertaking always involves the support of other people. In this instance given the timeframe of the research involved such support extends back into the early 1990s through to the present time. Throughout this period many persons in their different ways have contributed to the research that forms the basis of this book for which I am indeed grateful.

      I would also like to thank those persons who have helped in the development of the book from the outset commencing with the team at CABI particularly Alex Lainsbury and Claire Parfitt, the reviewers for their insightful comments, and the production team. Most especially I would like to thank Patrick ‘Paddy’ Boyle, Carol Leslie, Russell Ecob, Jakki Holland and Debbie Hinds.

      As has been the case in the past and similarly throughout this undertaking, there has been the ever present Susan, putting up with my distractions and pre-occupation, and without whose help this book would not have come to fruition.
