Acknowledgements
As editors we would like to thank the huge number of individuals and organizations
that made this book possible. First and foremost, of course, we thank the authors
who wrote the individual chapters, and then amended them, striving to make them,
not only scientifically accurate, but also understandable across the interdisciplinary
divide. We are much indebted to all the anonymous reviewers, who went through
the chapter manuscripts in detail and offered thoughtful advice on how they might
be improved. We are grateful to Marion McClintock for her helpful comments and
suggestions on the text. We thank all the participants in our POBO research
workshop whose presentations in Chicheley Hall have given rise to the book, as
well as the several organizations that supported the event, including: the
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Network on
Emergence and Physics Far From Equilibrium; the EPSRC Physics of Life Network
(PoLNet); the EPSRC Physical Sciences Programme; the Institute of Physics; the
International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP); and Lancaster Helium
Ltd. We are especially grateful to Dr. Karis Baker who runs PoLNeT for her
continuing encouragement and support.
