Dear Reader,

It was a challenge and a pleasure to write this book. As I wrote, selecting topics and a vocabulary that would be useful and interesting, I thought, Who are you? A friend, a colleague, a student in a university class, such as I used to teach?

Perhaps, I imagined, you are a recent graduate, star ting out in life. On the other hand, now that your children are grown, you may be a mother rejoining the work force. You could also be a person seeking advancement in your present position. Nor would it surprise me if you are a senior citizen looking for mental stimulation. Age is not a barrier to acquiring new knowledge. Whoever you are, whatever your needs, this book is for you.

Learning is an adventure. As you travel through the pages of this book, bon voyage. May your journey be productive and enjoyable and may it lead to future adventures, success, and good fortune. Best wishes.

Sincerely,

Over 400 words to help you
communicate with eloquence and style

Valentine Dmitriev, Ph.D.
