Acknowledgements

For my wife and daughter who tolerated my nightly and often daily vigils at the keyboard, and to my favorite cat for not trying to sit on the keyboard too often.

—Gavin Powell

Many thanks to Gavin Powell for spear heading this project. His hard work is evident throughout this fine book. And, as always, thanks to my husband, Patrick, and son, Blue, for putting up with me even when I stay up late and ignore them to meet a deadline.
