Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the team at Routledge who have been involved in producing this edition, particularly Natalie Foster, Ruth Moody and Andrew Watts. This book would have been impossible without the generosity and hard work of the authors whose chapters make such interesting and thought-provoking reading. My thanks also go to Robert Murphy, my colleagues at UEL for their patience and understanding, and all those who have been part of the journey of the fifth edition of the book.
