Acknowledgements

As anyone who has ever written a book knows it is never just the product of the authors. Through its many stages and iterations, it benefits from the input of others, continually refining it and reshaping it. It is important to acknowledge their role in this process. The current book began life as a PhD thesis. Throughout this stage we benefitted from the wisdom, criticism and support of many people through conference presentations to coffee shop conversations. However, there are a few key people who require a special mention for their intellectual and material support. We would like to thank Chris Gilleard, Ian Rees Jones, Dick Wiggins, James Thompson and Graham Scambler for their input, arguments and encouragement throughout this period.
