Acknowledgments xi

Jeanne Glasser, editorial director at McGraw-Hill, was the cat-
alyst of this book. From the day she suggested a much-needed
“book on Dubai,” her support for this effort has been unwavering.
I thank her for the confidence she has shown in the book and in me,
and for her kind guidance and feedback throughout the publishing
process. I thank Herb Schaffner, publisher at McGraw-Hill, and the
broader McGraw-Hill team, for the gracious support they have pro-
vided. Credit for the book is to be shared, while responsibility for
any shortcomings is mine.
All who have contributed to these efforts—named and
unnamed—have my deep appreciation and good wishes. It is our
collective hope that this book help integrate the Gulf economies and
their people more deeply into global business, in a spirit of genuine
collaboration, shared prosperity, and mutual advancement.
