Acknowledgments
It wasn't until I started writing that I realized that the name on the front cover of a book is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to significant contributions. Thanks to Chris, David, Debra, Ed, Kit, and Scott for not losing faith in me when my first chapters came back more wrong than right, and for helping me find "right" each step of the way. And a very special thanks to Laura for supporting me throughout this journey.
