Dedication
This book is dedicated to my mother, Florence Ethel Mansfield.
Author’s Acknowledgments
I want to thank executive editor Greg Croy for his many kindnesses. I’ve
always enjoyed working with Greg. He knows how to get the best out of
authors (at least this author). Greg’s one of the good guys.
I was also lucky to have two first-rate editors work with me on this book.
Project editor Christopher Morris asked good questions when my writing
needed some questions raised. He also made a number of very useful changes.
He deserves credit for discernment and the high quality of his editing. Copy
editor Teresa Artman kept a close eye on me and asked many good questions
as well. In addition, she ensured consistency of punctuation, diction, and
cross-reference. Thanks to her and Chris for the many improvements they
made to this book.
Technical editor D. J. (Deepesh Jain) reviewed the entire manuscript for tech-
nical problems. For that, I thank him. I’m happy to report that he found few
flaws but certainly glad that we fixed the flaws he did spot.
To these and all the other good people at Wiley who contributed to the book,
my thanks for the time and care they took to ensure quality every step along
the way to publication.
Finally, I want to give special thanks to my agent, Matt Wagner of Waterside
Productions, who has been offering me good advice for over a decade.
