This book couldn't have been possible without the continued support from my wife, Sylvia Tosar, who provided everything so I could work on this book—which was started while in a stint working in Pune, India, 10,000 miles away from home; continued for a short while in London, England; and only finished back home in Montevideo, Uruguay, but always with her by my side, in person or thanks to the internet.
