Acknowledgments

There are many people who deserve thanks for helping make this book a reality. First, Id like to thank David Ramsay Steele and series editor George Reisch for making this project possible. The volumes authors deserve special thanks for their brilliant toil under the cruel lash of the editors pen.

Im especially thankful for the contributions of our industry contributors John Ostrander and Denny ONeil. Two nicer guys I could never hope to work with, and I hope you enjoy their chapters as much as I do.

On the home front, I wish to thank my wife, both for suggesting the possibility of doing this kind of volume, and for her continual support while I worked on it. A further note of thanks belongs to my friend Stuart Lowery for suggesting some helpful structural lines early on.
