Acknowledgments
This book is dedicated to two incredible people who have inspired me in my life and influenced the direction it has taken. In particular, the book is dedicated to my mother, whose care, gentleness, and support are beyond words. Her patience is limitless, and her wisdom is legendary. She is truly an angel on earth.
This book is also dedicated to my brother Woury, who has inspired my intellectual pursuit and supported me in countless ways. I owe much to him.
This book is written with the support and guidance of so many well-informed people. I am thankful to each of them. I would like to thank particularly my two external reviewers for their careful reading of the manuscript and their invaluable suggestions and positive criticism. They have greatly helped to strengthen the content of this book. I have gained a great deal of insight from my discussions and conversations with Professor Tony Liddicoat, Duncan Frewin, and Dr Blandine Stefanson. I thank them for their time and input.
