The editor wishes to thank RSP for organising this conference, those bodies which funded the conference, and all of those who submitted their conference papers to be considered for publica tion. Also I would particularly like to thank Tim Farmiloe of Macmillan and Barbara Harrell-Bond of RSP for their patience during the prolonged gestation of this volume. And last, but not least, I am very grateful to Glenys and Mary for their spirited assistance in producing the finished manuscript. V AUGHAN ROBINSON x
