Author's response
I am very grateful not only for the expected professionalism of a review from Dr. Abulafia's pen but also for the time he has clearly devoted to it and to understanding what I was about when I wrote it. That the review is decidedly on the favourable side is, of course, very pleasing to me. Aside from one or two totally minor details, I am in entire agreement with Dr. Abulafia's comments and assessment.
