Acknowledgements
We first acknowledge the help and patience of our colleagues, Zoe Kruze and
Andrew Mold at Routledge in seeing this project through. We also thank the
anonymous referees who helped us define more closely the nature of the book.
We are very grateful to Peter Dicken for kindly writing the preface. It was
Location in Space, written with Peter Lloyd that provided the inspiration for the
five sessions at the Centennial AAG. Very special thanks are owed to Professor
Gordon Clark for his kind help and support in organizing the sessions and for
his subsequent advice on the book. We are also very grateful to Doug Watts 
who was involved at the early stages of planning the sessions. We also thank the
contributors for responding to our requests with such good humour. Finally 
we would like to thank Annitra Jongsthapongpanth for assistance with the 
manuscript.
