Author's Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Kyle Looper and Susan Christophersen, my editors at Wiley, who provided me with invaluable assistance throughout the book development process. I also owe a debt of gratitude to my literary agent, Carole Jelen of Waterside Productions. Doug Couch served as technical editor for this title and was a great source of advice as we worked through some of the more difficult portions of the book. I'd also like to thank the many people who participated in the production of this book but I never had the chance to meet: the graphics team, production staff, and all those involved in bringing this book to press.
