Acknowledgements

A volume of this scope is invariably the fortunate outcome of collaboration among many individuals, to whom we would like to express our sincere gratitude. Foremost among them are the contributors to this volume, who joined us on the long and often challenging journey that such an ambitious editorial project entails. We are deeply thankful for their insightful contributions as well as for their enduring patience throughout the process.

We are also grateful for the generous financial support provided by the Tübingen–Durham Seedcorn Fund and the Universitätsbund Tübingen e.V. as well as by research funds from Durham University and the International Centre for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities (University of Tübingen). Their support made it possible for this volume to be published Open Access.

Behind the scenes, we have been fortunate to receive help from several dedicated people. We warmly thank Matt Lloyd and Maya Zakrzewska-Pim at Cambridge University Press for their guidance and support, Anna Voigtländer for creating the cover image, and Natalie Halseband for producing the index. Our sincere thanks also go to our student assistants, Lukman Mezdour and – sine qua non – Valerie Weber, whose skill and diligence ensured a steady grasp of an ever-expanding manuscript.

Accessibility Information

The HTML of this chapter complies with version 2.2 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), offering more comprehensive accessibility measures for a broad range of users and attains the highest (AAA) level of WCAG compliance, optimising the user experience by meeting the most extensive accessibility guidelines.

Content Navigation

Table of contents navigation
Allows you to navigate directly to chapters, sections, or non‐text items through a linked table of contents, reducing the need for extensive scrolling.
Index navigation
Provides an interactive index, letting you go straight to where a term or subject appears in the text without manual searching.

Reading Order & Textual Equivalents

Single logical reading order
You will encounter all content (including footnotes, captions, etc.) in a clear, sequential flow, making it easier to follow with assistive tools like screen readers.
Short alternative textual descriptions
You get concise descriptions (for images, charts, or media clips), ensuring you do not miss crucial information when visual or audio elements are not accessible.
Full alternative textual descriptions
You get more than just short alt text: you have comprehensive text equivalents, transcripts, captions, or audio descriptions for substantial non‐text content, which is especially helpful for complex visuals or multimedia.
Visualised data also available as non-graphical data
You can access graphs or charts in a text or tabular format, so you are not excluded if you cannot process visual displays.

Visual Accessibility

Use of colour is not sole means of conveying information
You will still understand key ideas or prompts without relying solely on colour, which is especially helpful if you have colour vision deficiencies.
Use of high contrast between text and background colour
You benefit from high‐contrast text, which improves legibility if you have low vision or if you are reading in less‐than‐ideal lighting conditions.
