This book is dedicated to Joanna, a gifted author, artist, naturalist and remarkable human being whose like rarely walks on this earth.
Very special thanks to David Sidlauskas for his background information and for being a true pioneer, to John Daugman for his foreword and for being a true innovator and to Rosie, Sally and Karen at Springer Verlag for their enduring support, which is as much a part of this book as anything I have written.
