Acknowledgments

I only edited what others wrote, and they deserve enormous thanks: John Signa, Deborah Peer, Paul Suh, David Ekstrand, Arek Dreyer, Scott Neal, John Welch, Gordon Davisson, Jan Stewart, and Priscilla Oppenheimer.

Special thanks to David Pugh for his invaluable assistance. This book would not have been completed without him.

Words sometimes need to be massaged. Whitney Walker attacks them, and this book is better because of it.

Thanks also to Rebecca Gulick and Tiffany Taylor for their patience.

Thanks to Susan for holding down the fort in my mental and physical absences. You are one of a kind, and I am so lucky.

As always, thanks to my friends Joel Rennich and Michael Bartosh. Driving down Pacific Coast Highway from San Francisco to Santa Barbara in a Jag on the way to a conference is an excellent way to kill an afternoon.

And finally a huge thanks Serena Herr. Can I get some sleep now?
