Acknowledgement

We are indebted to the three series editors, Martin Bygate, John Norris, and Kris Van den Branden for their support throughout the entire process, without which this project would not have been possible. Their constructive comments helped us with conceptualizing the structure of this volume and strengthened each chapter during the revision process. Special thanks also go to Meredith Hall D’Arienzo and Rurik L. Tywoniw who helped to proofread some chapters.
