Dedication

I

dedicate this book to my

wonderful, beautiful and very patient wife Mary, for her willingness to partner with me as I wrote this Workbook, for those countless times I have asked her to listen to the way I was explaining a topic to see if I was making it clear enough to be easily understandable by at least an average reader. I also wanted the concepts to be quick and easy to apply.

In addition, I wish to express my gratitude to the Page Publication staff and their department teams, for their professionalism, and the excellence in their quality of work. And very specially to my Publications Coordinator (single point of contact) Marta Greca, for her quick responses to my e-mail and phone calls, and holding my hand, so to speak throughout the publication process. She really made it a very pleasant experience for me, and for this I am grateful. Thank you, Marta.
