ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It's quite amazing to me how many people contributed to the completion of this book. I thank you all. Hopefully I won't leave anyone out.

First, my deepest thanks go out to the primary technical reviewers of this book, Dr. Mark Edwards and Aaron Gustafson. Your comments, critiques, and hard work are much appreciated.

A special debt of gratitude also goes out to the contributors of the sidebars: Ariane Kempken, my first real mentor in user-centered design, for her thoughts on the subject; Misha Vaughan, for her inspiring work with information shape and her sidebar on that topic; Eric Reiss, entertaining and fascinating as always with "Shared References"; Donna Maurer, for her incredible energy and brilliant insight into card sorting; Victor Lombardi, for his expert knowledge and opinion, and for helping make this book possible; Andrea Resmini, Emanuele Quintarelli, and Luca Rosati for their inspiration and great work on the FaceTag project; and Mark Edwards, for his expert knowledge and experience with interaction design and documentation techniques.

Of course, many others pitched in by reading and reviewing chapters, listening to my questions, and contributing in many other ways. Thank you all for your feedback and for your time: Peter Boersma, Liz Danzico, Jochen Fassbender, Margaret Hanley, Michael Hatscher, Andrea Hill, Theba Islam, Jeff Lash, Victor Lombardi, Ariane Kempken, Michael Kopcsak, Eric Mahleb, Kathryn McDonnell, Donna Maurer, Wolf Nöding Andrew Otwell, ...
