Acknowledgments This book results from a sustained interest in genre that owes a great deal to the many excellent colleagues and friends who have shared their ideas and texts with me over many years. Among these I am particularly indebted to Sue Hood, Bev Derewianka, Susan Feez, and Jim Martin in Australia, to John Swales and Ann Johns in the United States, and to Chris Candlin and Vijay Bhatia in Hong Kong. Their varied influence is obvious on every page of this text, and I hope they find something in it they can all agree with. I am also grateful to Diane Belcher and Jun Liu for coming up with the idea for this series and for asking me to contribute to it and to my research assistant, Polly Tse, for sweet biscuits and sympathy during the ups and downs of writing. Finally, my thanks go to my wife, Fiona, whose love, encouragement, and conversations about writing enormously enrich my life and my work.
