ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Talk to anyone who has written a book. They will tell you that they wouldn't have believed at
the start how much time it would take. They will also tell you that they were helped by many
other people who contributed advice or effort. I have been particularly fortunate in this respect,
and would like send special thanks to:
My son, Stephen Cavers, for his expert and calming advice on Windows and
computers, generally. He also prepared the graphics used in the installation, including the
elegant cell phone icon that should be sitting on puter's desktop right now.
Dave Michelson, for sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of propagation phenomena
and giving me tips regarding wonderful websites. Any errors in the text are my unique
contribution, not his.
Lisa Welburn and Steve Grant, for their preparation of the Index of Topics a
mind-numbing but essential piece of business, and one I am happy not to have had to do
myself.
Jennifer Evans, of Kluwer Academic Publishers, for sharing my enthusiasm about a
hyperlinkcd, web-savvy interactive text, and for her guidance in shaping it to a publishable
form.
