Acknowledgements
Thanks to Mom and Dad for your support and encouragement in my journey in writing this book. It takes great courage for you to let me do what I do and that gave me courage to never give up. Thanks to Stewart Lockie for opening my mind to ways of thinking I never imagined. Thank you for being a guide and anchor when the thinking got rather messy, and an inspiration when the ideas were not flowing. And thanks to my many friends in Singapore, India and Australia, you know who you are: thank you for keeping me grounded, sane and, most of all, hydrated throughout the period of writing Energy, Risk and Governance.
