The authors are greatly indebted to many colleagues for their patience and considerable support with this project. The staff at John Wiley including Paul Petralia, Eric Willner, Anne Hunt, Lauren Poplawski, Becky Cowan and Karthika Sridharan have been most helpful. We were also supported by Margarita Maksotskaya at Auburn University, who provided splendid assistance in bringing this book project to a successful conclusion. Our colleagues are thanked for reading the book in manuscript. Pouria Oliazadeh read every chapter and provided helpful comments throughout. In addition, Gene Chung, Steven Hambric, Colin Hansen, David Herrin, Reginald Keith, Robin Langley, Florent Masson and Tomas Ulrich, kindly acted as reviewers of selected chapters with which they had expertise. The first author is grateful for the support of Richard H. Lyon, a brilliant acoustician and one of the originators and developers of SEA. The first author learned so much about the subject from him. Richard Lyon almost was an unofficial advisor for the first author's PhD dissertation and section 12.5 of Chapter 12 is dedicated to Dr. Lyon's memory. Last and not least, the authors thank their wives, Ruth Crocker and Ester Arteaga for their support, patience and understanding during the lengthy period of preparation of this book.
