Acknowledgements
We, as editors, would like to thank the esteemed group of academics and researchers who have contributed to this publication. Without their commitment to work with us on this project, we would not have been able to put together such a strong edited volume.
We would also like to acknowledge the excellent support provided to us by Brill | Sense, most notably Evelien van der Veer and Jolanda Karada. They really do make publishing with them a pleasure. Professor Roger Slee is the series editor, and we are very grateful to have been invited to be part of an engaging and informative set of books.
