I want to thank my mother and father, and the rest of the Kao family for all that
they have done for me. I also want to thank my wife, Marie-Claude, for her
support and understanding during the development of this book. In addition, I
want to thank my kids, Jade and Logan, for giving me quiet time during the
development of this book. Lastly, I want to thank Manon and the rest of the
Gamelin family for their unrelenting support.
