Acknowledgements

Deakin University is located in Victoria, Australia. We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which our University campuses are based: The Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation on whose Country our Geelong campuses are located, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation on whose Country our Burwood campus is located and the Peek Whurrong people of the Maar Nation on whose Country our Warrnambool campus is located. We pay our respects to elders past and present on whose lands the creation of this resource was undertaken and where many students using this text will be located.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Grant Program for providing financial support that allowed us to complete this first part of the book. Without their funding, this project would not have been possible.

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Angie, Astrid and the Copyright team for their invaluable assistance throughout the publishing process. Their expertise and dedication helped ensure this book is of the highest quality.

Finally, we would like to thank our colleagues for their unwavering support and encouragement. Your belief in the book has been a constant source of motivation, and we are grateful for each and every one of you.
