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.
There are also a large number of other individuals who have helped me with this book. Among them were Rick
Antle, Donna Battista, Randolph Beatty, Wolfgang Bühler, Kangbin Chua, Diego Garcia, Stan Garstka, Roger Ibbotson,
Ludovic Phalippou, Matthew Spiegel, John Strong, Julie Yufe, and many anonymous (victim) students who had to use
earlier error-ridden drafts.
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:
