Acknowledgments

In several books I have alluded to the fact that the development of a book is a team effort, and this book is certainly no exception.

As the author, I am directly responsible for the contents of this book. However, the many processes involved from its acquisition through its production require the skills and efforts of many individuals. Thus, I would be remiss if I did not take the time to acknowledge those individuals who certainly contributed to the development and production of this book.

As an old-fashioned writer, I like to work with pen and paper and use my notebook computer for those really labor- intensive operations, such as developing programs whose execution saves hours or days of hand-held calculator effort. In addition, the use of pen and paper provides me with the ability to easily modify drawings, which is especially convenient when encountering turbulence at 30,000 feet or when the notebook "battery low" warning light illuminates. While it is easy for me to use pen and paper to develop a manuscript, it truly takes a special talent to turn that draft manuscript into a professional manuscript complete with camera-ready illustrations. Once again, I am indebted to Linda Hayes for her fine effort in preparing the manuscript for submission.

Once a manuscript is submitted for production, a burden is removed from the author and placed upon the publisher. Thus, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the fine effort of CRC Press in bringing this new edition into print. Concerning CRC Press, my hat is once more tipped in acknowledgment to Rich O'Hanleyof Auerbach Publications for backing another book written by me.

Last, but certainly not least, the time spent writing a book places a considerable burden upon family life. Thus, my gratitude to my wife Beverly, whose cooperation and understanding during the many evenings and weekends I worked on this book are truly appreciated.
