Acknowledgments

I would like to thank the many instructors and students at a variety of schools who have used
this book and provided me with their valuable feedback and helpful suggestions. Their input
has made this a much better book than it would have been otherwise. I especially want to thank
Jerrold Grossman, Jean-Claude Evard, and Georgia Mederer for their technical reviews of the
seventh edition and their “eagle eyes,” which have helped ensure the accuracy of this book. I
also appreciate the help provided by all those who have submitted comments via the website.
I thank the reviewers of this seventh and the six previous editions. These reviewers have
provided much helpful criticism and encouragement to me. I hope this edition lives up to their
high expectations.
