However, sincere thanks go to all the authors who contributed to the book and who were unfailingly responsive to my requests and prompts. Their patience and good humour made the monster (somewhat) tameable. Special thanks go to the contributors (you know who you are) who stepped in at a fairly – or very – late stage when others went quiet, disappeared or threatened to take out restraining orders on me. A huge debt of gratitude goes to Jamie Bennett who reviewed all the chapters and whose insight and professional expertise were invaluable. Sincere thanks also go to Roy King for his input at an early stage in planning the content and organization of the book and to Tim Newburn for sharing the joys and pitfalls of producing a Handbook of this kind. Finally, thanks to Brian Willan for inviting me to take this on in the first place, and to his colleagues at Willan Publishing, David Kershaw and the team at Deer Park Productions for making the production process as smooth as it could possibly be. ix
