I would like take this opportunity to thank the many people who have made contributions to this work.
To Dr. Jaap van der Meer, for his tireless efforts at encouragement, guidance and manuscript manipulation, Thank you. I consider myself a proud member of your extended 'family'.
I am very grateful for the contributions of Dr. Jan Sevink who showed a keen interest in the project from its very beginning.
Very special Thanks to Dr. John Menzics for being a great mentor, motivator and a friend.
To Dr. John Hiemstra - Thanks for Everything (and the translation).
Although most of my research was performed at the University of Amsterdam, some assistance was also rendered by the Geography and Earth Sciences departments of Brock University in St.Catharines, Canada. More specifically, I want to thank Virginia Wagg, Daryl Dagcssc and Loris Gasparotto for their contribution to the production of the 'Reviewer's copies'. They also deserve my gratitude for always being ready to help, regardless of the size of their ' I N ' boxes.
1 would also like to thank Mieke Shani-Veels at UvA for her help in general but especially while retrieving lost packages, faxes, etc.
For their help in reading and reviewing some of the chapters I want to thank BIG JOHN Hiemstra, Ph.D., Daryl "Beer Song" Dagesse and Sam "I don't have a nickname" Blok.
To my selected group of mates, Marcel Bakker, Oscar Bloetjes, Sam Blok, Mark Lloyd-Davies and John 'Woody' Taylor, thanks for everything. Wouldn't be here today without you guys. Nope, I'd be finished a LOT earlier and miss out on many a great conversation!
Plasmic fabric examples used in the colour plates section came from Dr. van der Meer's extensive slide collection. I am most grateful for his permission to use them. If only I had a micromorphology atlas...
