Preface

Development Editor extraordinaire, for her outstanding contributions to all 11 editions of
xx
this book. Amanda performed the magic of turning my manuscript drafts into a high-
quality textbook and was always ready with encouragement and fresh ideas when I was
running low on them. Many of the best elements of this book resulted from Amanda’s
ideas and inspirations. In particular, I want to thank Amanda for contributing the Dutch
auction example in Chapter 6 and the ideas for the cases in Chapters 7 and 8.
