Acknowledgments

My technical reviewer, Stephen Frein, provided good insights and suggestions for improvement. In addition, because this edition would not have been possible without the previous ones, my continued thanks go to everyone listed in those editions who served as technical reviewer or who patiently answered my questions.

The staff at Pearson responsible for this edition were Mark Taber, acquisitions editor; Tonya Simpson, project editor; Sarah Kearns, copy editor; Kim Scott, compositor; Jess DeGabriele, proofreader; Heather McNeill, indexer; and Chuti Prasertsith, cover designer. My thanks to each of them.

Thanks to my wife Karen for her support and encouragement throughout the production of this edition.
