Acknowledgments

A number of people took the time to review the manuscript and offer recommendations for improvement; they have our deep gratitude. Special thanks go to Mark Nitsche, Terry Light, Randy Reetz, Peggy Koontz, and Phil Foell for many of the examples used in the book. Steve Masters, Mark Paulk, Irene Allen, Walt Weiss, Terri Johnston, Susan Pollan, Jim Hudec, Norman Hammock, Eileen Forrester, Dennis Frailey, Jay Swindle, Leslie Gulledge, and Ruth Martin commented on various versions of the manuscript—a time-consuming undertaking for which we are sincerely grateful.

Of course, there would be no book without the faith (again) of Peter Gordon from Addison-Wesley, who gave us the opportunity to publish this work. Thank you also to Kim ...
