in gratitude for her continual support and encouragement and for creating conditions which made the work possible During a professional career one is inevitably indebted to many people; I am sure that I have absorbed ideas from colleagues and pupils. It is impossible to thank so many unwitting helpers individually, but specific thanks are owed to those now named for help with this book. Mr R Jones, Head, and other members of the Science Department, and Mr D. Leach, Head of the Visual Education Department, at Rolle College, Exmouth, for various assistance; my former pupils Miss J. Breukelman and Miss G. Stock for comments: and my own University of Exeter for library facilities.
