The team at Unnamed Publisher is the best in the business. I am grateful to Michael Boezi for bringing me on the FWK author team. His enthusiasm for the FWK model and his vision is inspiring. Jenn Yee’s ability to get me started in the right direction and Melissa Yu’s follow-through, lightning-fast e-mail responses, amazingly good judgment, and quiet encouragement is ultimately what created the innovative finished product. I would also like to thank the talented people at FWK whom I don’t know, who quietly work in the background, such as the rendering people, technical people, and others, who I know put a great deal of effort into the final product and are a key component to FWK’s success. Also, thank you to Danielle Loparco for editing my first round of work.

I would like to thank my friends and family, who have supported me through this process. This list is long, but I hope they know who they are. I would like to specifically mention my husband, Alain, for understanding the late nights and long days, and also for being my best friend. 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 this new model of textbooks, which inevitably supports our students’ educational goals and success.
