To my wife, Ela,
for her support throughout the long process of
writing this book, and to my parents, Jadwiga and Janusz,
for their encouragement.

Krzysztof Cwalina

To my lovely wife, Janine.
I didn't fully appreciate before why authors always dedicate
books to their spouse, and now I do.

So, thank you. I'm sorry. I probably have time now for whatever those things were that you wanted me to do while I was writing.

Jeremy Barton

To my wife, Tamara:

Your love and patience strengthen me.
