ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The author is indebted to many people for important roles played in the preparation, presentation and accuracy of this book.

Special thanks go to my agent and packager Tony Seidl and to editorial consultant John P. Holms at TD Media Inc. for their performances in creating, editing, and design consultation on the book. A special mention is also due to Tom Dunne at St. Martin’s Press, without his vision and faith in me there would have been no book.

Thanks also to Lorenz Skeeter and Tim Cooper at Figure 5 Design for “crashing this one” while maintaining an exceptional design and Carl Rips Meltzer for additional editorial support.
