\nMy initial intention was to present the result of my research in the form of a book, but books are finite things with a beginning and an end. I realised as my research went on that I didn\u2019t know what or where the end might be, that there was always new material coming to light and that it might be many more years before anything like a complete story could be told. Somewhere down the line a book might be possible, but not now.
\nAlthough I am familiar with computers and smart phones, I know little about web design or social networks. There is a huge element of trial and error involved in putting this site together and the learning process continues.
