# 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*
