ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Although the cover of this book mentions only my name, I have not written this book alone. The words may be mine, but the book’s content reflects the countless conversations I had with friends, family, and colleagues. And even the words could not have been where they are right now without their support and confidence. The cover is too small anyway to list all the people who directly or indirectly contributed to this book. Therefore, I gladly take the opportunity to name those people here.
The opening of the book is shown; the full text loads in the reader.
