Far and away, the most important contributor to this book was Mary-Clare McEwing. As editor, she helped me improve
the substance of the book tremendously. Donna Battista and Matthew Spiegel also played very important roles.
The reviewers of earlier drafts of the book spent an enormous amount of time and provided me with many great
ideas. I owe them my deep gratitude for their engagement:
