Stories

I have included occasional stories from my own experience, some work-based, some more personal, to illuminate arguments in the text. I have done this on the basis that sometimes a story aids understanding and also to leaven the dough of academic exposition. I realize that these are as likely to annoy as to charm. In my defence I can only say I road-tested them with my contributors, and those included passed the squirm test. Feel free to skip them if they are not to your taste.
