To Melina and Carly for all your help and support during writing
this book, which I could not have done without you both. A very
big thanks to my sisters Annette and Caroline, and their families, for
their help, support and encouragement. To Mum and Dad for their
constant support and guidance. To Michael G for wading through
the early drafts and the synopsis for this work. And to my in-laws for
their patience. I also owe a debt of gratitude to all the people that
took time from their busy lives to talk to me about the subjects in this
book. It is their knowledge and vast experience that I have tried to
convey in this work.
