Anatomy and Physiology of Animals/Acknowledgements

Many thanks to Terry Marler (B.V.S.C.) for his guiding vision, wisdom, experience and patience. His advice throughout the writing of this WikiBook has been invaluable. I would also like to thank Bronwyn Hegarty, for gently shepherding the project through the many hurdles encountered and Leigh Blackall, also in the Education Development Unit at the Otago Polytechnic, for helpful discussions and advice. Many, many thanks also to Sunshine Blackall for her skills in formatting the diagrams and designing the artwork accompanying each chapter. The high quality of this work would not have been possible without the financial assistance of the Otago Polytechnic CAPEX fund. Thanks are also due to Jeanette O'Fee, my Head of School, for encouragement throughout the project and to Keith Allnatt and Jan Bedford for proofreading and reviewing. Finally I would like thank Peter and Kate who have patiently suffered my "unavailability" as I tapped my evenings and weekends away on the computer. Ruth Lawson
