Acknowledgments
We gratefully acknowledge the patient support of both of our husbands, John Kovacik and George Taniwaki. We also appreciate the comments and help given on technical matters and business analyses by Susan's husband, George. Eric Noreen greatly influenced Leslie's ideas about managerial and cost accounting topics and teaching. Cindy Lynch introduced Susan to cognitive development research literature, and together they developed the Steps for Better Thinking model. The team at Wiley provided wonderful help and guidance throughout the publication process of the first edition, including Mark Bonadeo, Nancy Perry, Brian Kamins, Ed Brislin, and Susan Elbe. Robert Weinstein was instrumental in helping us refine our message in a more concise manner, and Shane Moriarity and Carl Allen graciously allowed us access to their extensive end-of-chapter materials, compiled from many years of teaching cost accounting at the undergraduate level. For the second edition, we thank Rocky Buckley for his attention to detail and Brian Kamins for his help.
