Acknowledgments

Books do not come off the press through the efforts of authors alone. Their preparation
passes successively through editorial and production stages. The authors would like to
thank our colleagues, mentors, Wiley editors/reviewers, and the resource providers and de-
signers who have guided our efforts along the way. Sincere appreciation is extended to the
families of Professors Gordon M. Fair (Harvard University), John C. Geyer (John Hopkins
University), Daniel A. Okun (University of North Carolina), and Marvin L. Granstrom
(Rutgers University) and the reviewers whose suggestions and comments have signifi-
cantly improved the overall quality of this book series. Reviewers for the third edition
manuscript include: Ernest Tollner, University of Georgia; Rand Decker, Northern Arizona
University; Ramesh Teegavarapu, Florida Atlantic University; Humberto Avila Rangel,
Universidad del Norte. Special thanks are due to Dr. Richard Reinhart of NIOSH for his
review of Chapter 20 PtD, and for Dr. Carolyn M. Jones of San Fancisco Public Utilities
Commission for her contribution of PtD engineering examples.
A book is not written in long evenings and on holidays without the consent, encour-
agement, and cooperation of the writers’ families. This, too, should be a matter of record.
