Acknowledgments
Many people have contributed to this tome through volunteering a piece of information, a better definition, or a logical link. A few have done more than their fair share and need to be named! I would like to thank Dr. Allan Hudson and Steve West, who found, reviewed, and checked many of the trends presented at the end of the book, and Chris Stannard, whose attention to detail has done much to ensure accuracy in the glossary.
I am also most grateful for all the help and encouragement from Julie Lancashire, Kate Hawes, and Susanna Taggart from Artech Books in London, and Tina Kolb in Boston. Finally, I am indebted to, and most impressed by, the anonymous reviewers used by Artech, who added significantly to the content and cogency of this work.
