Acknowledgements
Many people have contributed either directly or indirectly to both the writing of this book and the research underpinning it. Most important was the help and guidance of Louise Amoore and Ben Anderson. A special mention should be reserved also for Claudia Aradau whose advice was crucial towards the end of this research when I moved back to London from Durham. The comradery of the many brilliant PhD students and staff in Durham University’s Geography Department between 2010 and 2013 is also etched into the pages following. A massive thanks to all the talented researchers who I have befriended in the wider geography community and further afield over the last seven years too. My gratitude extends to my wonderful colleagues in the Geography Department at the University of Southampton who I have had the pleasure to work alongside over the last three and a half years. The support of my friends outside of academia has been fundamental to this book. I would also like to thank my family and Sophie H
