Our acknowledgments cannot be complete without words of appreciation for the wonderful people at Flat World Knowledge. Michael Boezi saw our vision and was willing to take a chance on us. He supported us throughout the project in spite of many creative blocks. Jeff Shelstad and Eric Frank—how wonderful that their genius created Flat World Knowledge in the first place. It is the place where we realized our dream. Claire Hunter was our indispensable reviewer for the last few chapters, helping us refine our thinking. Becky Knauer, our project manager, was awesome! She kept us on track and showed compassion and understanding during the multiple hardships we experienced during this journey. We probably would not have made it had it not been for her. She kept us sane.
