First, I would like to say a very special thank you to Ruth Woods, who painstakingly
read every chapter, making numerous comments and suggestions to
help make clear what was often ambiguous. There is no doubt in my mind that
the book benefited greatly from her dedicated and conscientious approach,
ensuring a level of clarity that I often, mistakenly, assumed was inherent.
Thanks Ruth; so that’s another bar of Green and Blacks, then, is it? Thanks
also to Chris Pike for providing support and inspiration to develop the idea
when it initially emerged from one of our many coffeehouse conversations
about the nature of psychology. Thank you to Sabina Hulbert for providing
helpful comments, particularly on the latter section, as well as the much-valued
support given throughout. Heartfelt thanks to Graz· yna, whose support and
belief in me never wavered, even when listening to all my doubts and concerns
during the writing of this book, dzienkuje bardzo moja ukohana zona.
