Acknowledgments Given the eleven years required to produce the original five volumes, the list of contributors is considerable. They constitute numerous individuals and financial sponsor companies who deserve special acknowledgement. It is impractical to give lengthy written credit to all concerned, and the list below only outlines some of their contributions. Thank you everybody. Special thanks are extended to Dr Peter Pollard and Dr Gavin Clarke who contributed continuously via encouragement, editing, rock preparation, and their own extensive knowledge of ore textures. The outstanding plates are the work of Roger Yeldham and Brian Pump from the James Cook University photographic division. Although not obvious here, David Lloyd contributed the initial graphic design which made the individual volumes so attractive. The difficult and delicate task of combining five volumes into a single offering has been conducted by Elisabeth Sillmann of blatterwald Design. Her high quality graphic design skills are gratefully acknowleged, and will be evident to all readers. Some anonymous frogs who gracefully permitted use of their photographic images in the original volumes are also acknowledged (unfortunately only two could be included here).
