Acknowledgements
Three colleagues helped me formulate the original idea for this book, and I thank them for their help in the early stage and the subsequent stages of the research that lies behind this book: Ms Sally Costar; Dr Helen Marshall and Mr Humphrey McQueen.
Another three people helped me formulate and think about interview questions, and I thank them here for their invaluable assistance: Mr Richard D'Apice AM SC; Professor Jenny Martin; Dr Helen Marshall. And for suggesting the final book title at the eleventh hour, I am indebted to Dr Robert Dessaix.
Among the people who helped with recruiting potential interviewees were Mr Ray Richardson in Australia; Mr Rehan Kularatne in England and Mr Eric Jannke, Emeritus Professor Brian de Vries, Mr Richard Bass, Mr Jeff Taylor and Mr Jax Kelly in the United States.
I am grateful to Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, for providing me with a fractional contract for three years which enabled me to conduct the research for the book and to begin writing the manuscript.
Dr Helen Marshall helped also with the task of proof-reading various versions of the manuscript, and I thank her and Mr Reza Bolourian, both of whom carefully read the final draft of the manuscript, for their invaluable support and assistance, as well as Dr Melanie Beddie for hers.
As with every other piece of writing, any remaining typographical or other mistakes are entirely my responsibility, and I thank readers in advance for their understanding.
