The editors are immensely grateful to all of the authors and their companies for support in writing papers. Jonathan Craig in particular was also most helpful at the outset. At the Geological Society's Publishing House, Angharad Hills (now retired), Bethan Phillips and Maggie Simmons have been hugely helpful whilst Jo Armstrong and her team have done sterling work in delivering a fantastic publication. Jen Brzozowska very kindly compiled from various sources the Memoir's Dedication to John Brooks.
