To my family
To Sam, my son, for keeping himself in his bedroom playing computer games
and not disturbing me
To my daughter, Naomi, for her social and sporting activities that keep
her busy
To the dog, Emmi (a border terrier), for keeping her barking under control
Finally, to my wife, Lynne, for her patience and understanding in keeping all
those above under control while I spent hours in the study
