Contributors

In introducing the contributors to this book we present two voices. First, the usual descriptive account of the career and contribution each has made to the field of mathematics education. Second, and rather differently to most other books, we asked each contributor to write a very personal message about their relationship to Steve. We hope this gives you a feel for the breadth of the authorship and the personal nature of the professional relationships people have with Steve.
