We are most grateful to the efforts of various people who have helped this volume come to successful completion. Our first debt of gratitude is to the contributors who have willingly responded to the theme, met our deadlines and additional requests, and produced a volume that is highly stimulating, learned and insightful. Sue Jarvis in Brisbane has been terrific in pulling the volume together for publication. Thanks to the team at Continuum and in particular Mark Gibson. We are also grateful to reviewers who generously provided critical feedback on the articles and to Joanna Kujawa for editorial support. Thanks also are due to Katherine Burton for supporting the publication of the collection under Taylor & Francis's special issue to book scheme, and to Stephen Thompson for providing editorial assistance with the production of the book.
