inspiration-Jo Anne DeGraffenreid, without whose tireless efforts this edition
would never have been completed. She carefully polished my words, refined my
grammar, and detected obscure passages, insisting that I rewrite them until they
were understandable. She checked the illustrations and equations for consistency
in style and format, designed the layout, selected the book type, and in a Herculean
effort, set the entire manuscript in camera-ready form using the T$ typesetting lan-
guage. Most importantly, she encouraged me throughout the process of seemingly
never-ending revision, and took me home and poured for me a generous libation
when I despaired of ever laying this albatross to rest. To her I dedicate this book.
