I have incurred many debts of gratitude in the course of writing this book and I am pleased to have the chance to repay them, however inadequately, in this preface. For their frequent acts of kindness and generosity, my thanks go to: Neil and Melanie Crosby, Jon Gifford, David Holton, Sue Jeffreys, Chris Kelly, Rustom Khandalavala, Bruce Kiddy, John Leigh, Ashley and Jane Meggitt, Bernard and Brenda Meggitt, Nicholas Purcell, and Andrew Wilson. For their institutional assistance, my thanks to Selwyn College and the staff of the University Library. I am also grateful to Gill Motley and John Thompson of Polity Press for their enthusiastic and long-suffering support.
I would particularly like to thank Justin Meggitt, David Woodhouse, and Melanie Wright, who have all been true thoroughbreds in matters of friendly help and criticism, and Peter Garnsey, without whose expert training I would never have made the race-track, let alone completed the course.
This work is dedicated to my parents.
