Acknowledgements
I thank Dr. Daniel Black and Professor JaneMaree Maher at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia), who oversaw my doctoral thesis upon which this book is based. They guided and encouraged me throughout my candidature. I’m grateful to my editors, Sharla Plant and Poppy Hull, for their incredible patience and support and the opportunity to turn my dream of being published into reality. And last but certainly not the least, my family and friends, who deserve the greatest thanks of all for their never-ending love and support, which they so graciously gave, especially at a time when I needed them the most. The writing of this book coincided with a tragic family loss, and without their care and encouragement, it would have been impossible for me to complete. This achievement is as much theirs as it is mine.
