The team at FlatWorld is the best in the business. I am grateful to FlatWorld for creating a vision of less expensive textbooks, which contributes to greater student success. Sean, Vicki, Lindsey, Nikki, and KB are some of my favorite people to work with.
I would like to thank Chris for being a shining light in my life. Also, I’d like to acknowledge my parents, Emanuele and JoAnn, for their constant encouragement and support of me professionally and personally—not only today, but always.
Lastly, thank you to the professors who adopt this book and support the FlatWorld model of textbooks, which inevitably supports our students’ educational goals and success.
