Acknowledgments

After all the books I've written, you would think I would have this time-management thing down to a science by now. Not a chance! I still haven't been able to judiciously ration my time so that I don't end up putting a lot of pressure on myself and the ones around me as I approach my deadline. To those around me who put up with this, I am eternally grateful. This includes my wonderful kids, Julia, Linda, and Greg, who were once again unfortunate enough to have their father work on a book during their summer break.

My contacts at Wiley were equally patient and professional. I'd like to thank my acquisitions editor, Katie Mohr, for her continued support throughout this project. My development editor, Jodi Jensen, was remarkable! Thanks Jodi, for all your hard work and attention to detail. It was a real pleasure working with you on this book. Finally, I'd like to thank Terrence Talbot, my technical editor, for his thoroughness in reviewing my manuscript.
