At the top of the list of people we want to thank is our editor at Bloomberg Press, Stephen Isaacs, who was always accessible and who provided much sage advice. Other Bloomberg Press folks who labor tirelessly behind the scenes include Yvette Romero, Judith Sjo-Gaber, John Crutcher, and JoAnne Kanaval.

These include Mary Jo Barrett, Charlotte Beyer, Thomas Bloch, Bruce Boyd, Jeffrey Brodsky, Ira Bryck, Mitch Cohen, Mike Cohn, Leslie Dashew, François de Visscher, Nancy Donovan, Susan Goldenberg, Fritzi Hallock, Sara Hamilton, Jeffrey Horvitz, James Hughes, Henry Hutcheson, Holly Isdale, Charles Jahn, Dr. Kenneth Kaye, Richard Levi, Charles Lowenhaupt, Teri Lowinger, Doug Macauley, Susan Remmer Ryzewic, Tom Rogerson, Claudia Sangster, Istar Schwager, Jill Shipley, Dr. Kenneth Sole, ...
