Acknowledgments

There are many people I would like to thank for helping in producing this book. David Moyer served as my unofficial editor, standardizing spelling, catching errors, and always giving helpful suggestions. Dick Hall helped with crucial bits of research whenever needed. With respect to illustrations, I am especially happy to have been able to work with my sister, Mary Jordan, who provided all of the line drawings in this book. Ian Brier’s computer skills were especially welcome when it came to preparing the illustrations. Special thanks go to my husband, Bob Brier, whose constant encouragement and excellent suggestions saw me through the completion of this manuscript.
