Friends, colleagues and strangers have, over more than two decades, asked me to write introductions to their books. For me this has been a particular pleasing aspect of authorship. It gives a chance to read a book twice, the first time for pure pleasure, and the second time to absorb aspects of it that might otherwise have been overlooked. It also gives me a chance to be associated with enterprises and efforts that I hold in high regard. The introductions that I have found on my bookshelves are listed here in chronological order of publication.
