I would like to thank my family, friends, and work colleagues Paul McAuliffe and Linda Mathers for their help and support over the last few years. In particular, I would like to thank Ken Coggin for his help in setting up the video comms channel, and Sarah Loomes for her help in maintaining it over the last couple of years; this book would certainly have remained a pipe dream if it weren't for their help!
