My wonderful sister, Jean – Thanks Jeannie! No other person apart from the two <strong>of</strong> us will ever know how your<br />
patience, practical support and pr<strong>of</strong>essional guidance has helped turn this book into a reality. You are a sparkling<br />
gem <strong>of</strong> goodness and selfless giving, my dear sister.<br />
My brother, Jim – Thanks Jimmy for your helpful comments when you saw that I needed a boost. Listening to<br />
your thoughts, forged from hard won experience <strong>of</strong> the world, helped me view anew how I should consider the<br />
overall writing process. You’ve been a real help, buddy!<br />
My ‘Toolbox’ – I have never seen it done before, but I just have to say a word or two about my trusty old pal<br />
here, my computer. I have continually assured it over the past many months that I appreciate its almost faultless<br />
performance and I have nurtured it with all appropriate s<strong>of</strong>tware checks and updates to ensure that its good<br />
behaviour would continue. It has rewarded me a thousand fold, so a big thank you to my trusty friend, I really<br />
do appreciate that you stuck with me!<br />
Ayr Amateur Radio Group – I have been a member <strong>of</strong> this club for almost 40 years so my friends there just had<br />
to be the guinea-pigs first exposed to my thoughts on the <strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Universe</strong> model. They sat patiently for many<br />
hours listening to me prattling on about it, and it was as a result <strong>of</strong> the rapid up-take and positive reaction they<br />
displayed that the idea to provide an introduction to the <strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Universe</strong> for others first came about. So, to this<br />
bunch <strong>of</strong> friends, a couple <strong>of</strong> whom remain lovable sceptics, I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation.<br />
My deepest appreciation goes to my darling wife Nora for her patience in all matters, loving attention and<br />
long periods <strong>of</strong> help with pro<strong>of</strong> reading. Without her unconditional support this book would never have<br />
seen the light <strong>of</strong> day. Nora, my much better half, you have my undying love, respect and admiration.
