This book is dedicated to the many people who have helped me along the way: first, to my father and mother, Richard and Winifred Schmude, who showed me the stars and answered all my questions; to the many fine teachers, professors, and school administrators who guided me during my childhood and early adulthood; to the members of the Astronomical League, the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers, and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada who supported and encouraged me; to the librarians at Gordon College who helped me obtain critical information for this book; and, finally, to the webmasters who prepared and maintain the websites listed in the book.
