Acknowledgments

These days I am attached as an adjunct professor in UniSA Creative at the University of South Australia. I should like to thank Professor Susan Luckman for facilitating my presence there. Susan has been a thoughtful colleague helping out where possible with funding and generally making my life as an adjunct far more pleasant than is usual. My associates in Creative People, Products and Places, of which Professor Luckman is the Director, have been unfailingly supportive and friendly. A big shout out especially to Kasia/Katrina Jaworski. I should also like to thank Dr. Jessica Taylor who has functioned as my research assistant on this project. Her work has been excellent and I thank her particularly for her rapid turnarounds when I know that she has been overwhelmed with other demands on her time. Panizza Allmark, Associate Professor at Edith Cowan University, has been both friend and partner through the life of this project. I thank her for her support and love, easing my anxieties and being an emotional refuge in times of need. I hope that I have reciprocated in at least some small way. I thank Panizza also for her intellectual input to this project. She is the coauthor
