Colophon

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Programming Internet Email is a spotted eagle, a member of the largest group of eagles, known as "booted eagles" for the feathering on their legs. This group is considered to be the most evolved eagle and one of the most evolved birds of prey in the world. They're large birds with long wings that allow them to be excellent at flying and soaring. They are superb hunters who prey on medium-to-large size game such as grouse, rabbits, and even young antelope and deer.

Typically a spotted eagle will lay two eggs, but because of sibling rivalry early on, only one survives. Biologists have been able to take the younger nestling right after it's hatched, foster it out, and return it later when both youngsters become less aggressive to one another and will both survive.

Spotted eagles are most commonly found in S. Asia, Africa, Eurasia, Middle East, and India. They can live to be over 20 years old, but are continually threatened by the ever-dwindling damp forest habitat that they call home. Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. The cover layout was produced by Kathleen Wilson using QuarkXPress 3.32 and Adobe's ITC Garamond font. The inside layout was designed by Alicia Cech, based on a series design by Nancy Priest. The text was formatted from SGML into FrameMaker 5.5 with Jade, using a DSSSL conversion stylesheet written by Chris Maden. The interior fonts are ITC Garamond Light, Garamond Book, and ConstantWillison.

The illustrations that appear in this book were produced by Robert Romano and Rhon Porter using Macromedia Freehand 8 and Adobe Photoshop 5.
