Acknowledgements

This book is a wonderful example of the team work it takes to get something published. First, as always, my thanks to Bob Argentieri for your continual support and promotion of my work. I appreciate the effort you put into making sure everything gets done on time and in the most productive way possible. I always look forward to catching up at congress and celebrating the latest achievements! I appreciate the work Amy Odum and Kerstin Nasdeo do to get everything cleaned up and published on a compressed timeline. I know you had to move a lot of things around to get this book out on time. Thank you!
