Being an academic work it's a bit dry so it'll have to be re-written before publishing, but, yes,it is fairly revealing.<br /><br />Watch this space!<br /><br />Cheers<br />DamianDamian Lataanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886295381135372084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-91291680341762834402012-05-08T14:15:15.676+09:302012-05-08T14:15:15.676+09:30This is good to hear Damian mate.
