Acknowledgment

I am blessed to have friends and to be brave enough to ask them for help. All of them have been approached for assistance in one way or another, some of them many times. I apologise for not listing them all. One in particular played a major role in making the English edition of the German original happen. My thanks go to Lawrence Grant-Lapre, who helped me to make this a somewhat readable English book. I would also like to direct my special thanks to Tracy Kavanagh for her bighearted help throughout the final stages of proof reading.
