To Joana, my wife who is a great source of support and a great lady to spend my life with. To Carter and Alani, I love you both very much; this is why Papo looks so tired. CAC

I dedicate this book, and all of the research I do, to my best friend, fearless companion, and husband Dave Vaughan. Without you, none of this has any meaning. CMR
