Acknowledgments

Several people were instrumental in making this book come together. The editorial team at Focal Press did a stellar job of guiding the whole production. Thanks to Marie Hooper for getting the effort started. Throughout the writing process, Georgia Kennedy was there to help, with patient encouragement and words of advice. Thanks also to Christina Donaldson and Margaret Denley for top notch assistance towards the end.

I am grateful to Prof. John Finnegan for his technical feedback. His comments were extremely valuable in improving the accuracy of the material and making it read better. If there are errors that remain in the text, I take sole responsibility for them.
