Acknowledgements
A great many people have helped in various ways with the research for this book, and I would like to record my thanks to them for their assistance. Since the first edition came out many of them will have retired, and some have sadly passed away. Where there has been any doubt I have attempted to establish to the best of my ability whether a person named below is still living, and offer my apologies for any unintentional distress I may have caused.
