Acknowledgments
Numerous people have provided assistance, advice, and encouragement during the preparation of the third edition, and readers have provided many important ideas and corrections. The author's Web site acknowledges the significant contributions that have found their way into the third edition, and the first two editions acknowledge earlier valuable contributions. In addition several recent reviewersVagif Abilov, Bill Draper, Horst D. Clausen, Michael Davidson, Daniel Jiang, Eric Landes, Klaus H. Probst, and Douglas Reillyhave gone above and beyond the call of duty to read the early drafts and to provide excellent and detailed feedback; their recommendations and advice are greatly appreciated, and I only hope that I've done justice to their hard work. My friends and colleagues at ArrAy Inc. also deserve a note of special thanks; I've learned a lot from them.Anne H. Smith, the compositor, has used her skill, persistence, and patience to prepare the book for publication; the book simply would not have been possible without her assistance. Elissa Armour, the compositor for the first two editions, laid the groundwork for this edition and facilitated a smooth transition.Chrysta Meadowbrooke, the copyeditor, made significant contributions to the book's accuracy, clarity, and conciseness. Her careful manuscript reading, incisive questions, and insight helped flush out many issues, large and small.The staff at Addison-Wesley Professional has exhibited the professionalism and expertise that make an author's work a pleasure. Stephane Nakib, the editor, and Karen Gettman, the Editor-in-Chief, have worked with the project from the beginning, urging me on, making sure that no barriers get in the way, and assuring that hardly any schedules are slipped. Ebony Haight, the editorial assistant, has managed the process throughout, and the production team of John Fuller and Patrick Cash-Peterson, the Production Coordinator, has made the production process seem almost simple.The book is dedicated, with love, to Bob and Elizabeth.Johnson (John) M.
