Dedication

To my mother, whose long fight with cancer is remarkable and a sign of the

human spirit’s ability to persevere in the toughest of circumstances.

Author’s Acknowledgments

A book is always more a product of circumstances than of the author’s wits

and ability to research data and synthesize it. No author can create without

the help of others. So here’s the list of important people for this one:

My family, my office staffs from my other life, and the Wiley editorial staff,

especially Stacy and Tracy who worked with me despite the inevitable cir-

cumstances that arose in the production of this book.

Grace, “the wonder agent” and purveyor of recurrent gigs.

Frank, “the master of all things Web-related,” without whom there would be

no Joe-Duarte.com.

To the inventor of audio books, because they keep me sane in my travels

between the places that I must go to in my search for truth, justice, and bucks.

As always, coffee, tea, vitamins, sports drinks, nutrition bars, and the game of

tennis also help.

Especially to those who read my books, subscribe to my Web site, and have

kept this thing going for 18 years.

And also to two long-time friends, John and Greg, whose interactions with me

always prove to be worthwhile and interesting, to say the least.

If I’ve forgotten to mention anyone, it wasn’t intentional — I’m not as young

as I used to be.
