We were very pleased that Bloomsbury Publishers immediately took an interest in this volume, specifically Caroline Wintersgill who gave us excellent feedback and support, from the very first proposal and throughout the production process. Finally, we would like to express our immense gratitude to Gerard Hearne, MA, who copy-edited the manuscript, revised the English of non-native writers and took care of the many details which we could not attend to.
