While a book may be a labor of love for an author, there is a fantastic team of people behind the author or authors that makes the book a reality. First off, a shoutout to our team at Wiley who put in a lot of hard work to take the book from a manuscript to the finished book in front of you now. My gratitude to our editor Kelly Talbot, who kept us on task and helped to polish the text. Another shoutout to my co-author Ben Piper for stepping in to co-author this book so that I could assist on the study guide that this book complements.
My personal thanks also to my agent Carole Jelen, and my coworkers who put up with my need to take extra personal days to finish the book.

Special thanks as always to Kenyon Brown, Senior Content Acquisitions Editor, for the opportunity to contribute to this work. Thanks also to Sara Perrott for the invitation to co-author this book. To everyone at Wiley who patiently read and edited my questions—I know it—s not always easy! Your efforts don—t go unnoticed, so thank you. Last but not least, a big thank you to our readers for trusting us and allowing us to assist you on your learning journey.
