Acknowledgements
Many friends over the years have encouraged me to collect examples and teach the basic principles of presentation. In particular, Mike LeGood from the then Civil Service College and Inge Feldbaek from Denmark Statistics were instrumental in encouraging me in the national and international contexts respectively.
Sarah Jones and her team assisted with the first attempt to summarise the course whilst I worked in the Local Government Data Unit – Wales. Alan Smith OBE, from the Office for National Statistics, United Kingdom, has for many years been a great encourager and a provider of examples. Many other colleagues over the years have assisted by providing examples for use in teaching.
Particular thanks are due to John Brettell, who assiduously waded through proofs to find the minutest of issues, to Sarah Jones and David Marder for their insightful reviews of various chapters and to Richard Davies, the Project Editor at Wiley, who has tried to manage me.
