I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of my late wife,
Hazel Sherrington, without whose encouragement and support,
my involvement in Julia would not have started but who is no
longer here to see the culmination of her vision.
Also, I wish to give special thanks to Barbara Doré and James
Weymes for their substantive help and material assistance in
the preparation of this book.
