Susan Pink is the editor of this book and a collaborator in other projects as well. Besides laughing at my worst jokes, Susan’s keen eye for clarity and incisive comments make me look good. She also remains calm in the face of deadlines. Too calm. I scheme to make her panic but nothing works. Karen Wickre at Google pored over this manuscript with a relentless atten- tion to detail that would cause brain-cell loss in a less robust individual. Her refinements improved this book’s accuracy tremendously. Ana Yang at Google was an enthusiastic and helpful partner in this book from the beginning. My sincere thanks to Ana for her time and diligence. Also at Google, Michelle Vidano and Joel Slovacek clarified my questions and gave generously of their busy schedules. Melody Layne at Wiley Publishing nursed this project from the start and saw it through to the end. I’m very thankful. I send a warm and admiring thank-you to the marketing experts who pro- vided extensive quotes to the manuscript. Amazingly generous, these pros contributed an extra dimension that will benefit every reader. Continued thanks to Mary Corder at Wiley. Many thanks to all the copy editors and production experts who lent their expertise to every page of the manuscript.
