Acknowledgments

Clearly, an endeavor of this type is the end-result of countless investments by mentors, clients, friends, and teachers.

This book was a major collaborative effort on the part of many people. In addition to our contributing authors, we would like to thank the following people for their invaluable contributions:

John Martin John Rosenbaum Manish Limaye Chris Loope Audrey Penrose Jay Espaillat

We would also like to thank our agent Neil Salkind and the team at Studio B, as well as Matt Holt and Tamara Hummel, at John Wiley & Sons. Their continued support and expert counsel is much appreciated.

Wed like to recognize the special people in our lives who lose us for weeks on end with an endeavor like this: Susan, Lauren, Allison, and Will Piot, and Mary, Emily, and Will Baschab.
