I would like to thank my editor, Samantha Gonsalves, for her tireless work in reviewing my work and keeping me on track. I would also like to thank the people who took time to review my early drafts and to see through my obfuscations to the core of what I was trying to say. So, I would like to thank Behan Webster, Klaas van Gend, Tim Bird, Robert Berger, Mathieu Deschamps, and Mark Furman. Last but not least, I would like to thank my wife, Shirley Simmonds, for her support and for understanding the fact that I really could not help her redecorate the house because I had a book to write.
