Authors’ Acknowledgments

Though writing a book is a solitary endeavor, publishing one is definitely a team effort. As such, we would like to thank the editors at Wiley Publishing, Tracy Boggier, who helped birth this project, Mike Baker, who kept us on the straight and narrow, and Kristin DeMint, for her way with words. Their efforts proved invaluable in bringing this work to publication. Also, appreciation to our family and friends for their support and tolerating our absence and distraction during the last few months.
