Acknowledgements

My heartfelt thanks to my wife, Colleen, and our son, Johann, for being patient with me while researching this book. They always endure the inconvenience of my absence while I am away on field trips. Then there are my CSIR colleagues, some of whose ideas are contained in the pages of this book.
