Acknowledgments

I do not think it is possible for a person, at least, a person with a family, to write a book without a good deal of support. In my case, I have had a massive support from my wife, Angela, who has also been a constant source of inspiration and indeed practical help by proof‐reading the book. I dedicate this book to her.

I thank my extended family accrued from two marriages, that is, Callum, Rory, Connor, Edward, Tamsyn, and Sophie for bringing inspiration and joy to my life as well as the inevitable problems. I would also thank my first wife Nerissa for supporting me in my early career and shouldering a large part of the burden of looking after our children.

Finally, I thank my parents who with meager resources supported me in pursuit of higher education despite their feeling that I should get a proper job.
