Acknowledgements

I'd like to extend my thanks to a number of people who helped get this book together and to the presses! Thank you firstly to my publishers and assistant editors at Emerald for checking in and guiding me through the book-writing process and answering all the questions this first-time author had along the way. Thank you to my reviewers for sending comments and contributing to the final form of the manuscript. Thank you to Dr Barry Gaulton for his endless support of my research during my master's degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland, which ultimately turned into this manuscript.

A special thank you to Adam Montgomery, Lorraine Evans and my mom, Barbara Lacy, for reviewing and editing the chapters for me and for providing valuable insight. The largest thank you to my husband and partner, Ian Petty, for making sure I always had tea and for rooting for me. No book is a one-person job, and your support means everything!
