Introduction

Abstract

With the passing of the editorial baton, this seems a good moment to reiterate the aims of the journal and review some of the changes. First of all, however, may I thank the editorial committee of Lydia Wevers, Richard Hill and Brad Patterson, and the journal administrator Deborah Levy, who collectively provided invaluable assistance in the process of transition to a new editor; and welcome the members of our new multidisciplinary and national/international journal board.
