Researching and writing this book would not have been possible without the boundless support and patience of my wife Johanna. Special thanks to Dick Penniman, Sohrab Gollogly, Lynne Herold, and David Evans for sharing their time and expertise with me. I am also indebted to Rob McQuilkin, Gabriel Reeve, and Joyce Pharriss for their judicious editing, and to Matt Jones for his cover graphics.

Throughout this book I quote experts on a number of subjects, and I am deeply grateful to all of them. I would also like to thank my mother, Kathy Leake, for her constant encouragement and help. My greatest acknowledgement goes to Lynda and Bob MacPherson, who never tired of answering my questions, and never got offended when I contested their views.
