I dedicate this work to my delightful and beloved wife, Majida Moutaib, and to my two lovely, charming and awesome kids, Ali and Nurhan. I also dedicate this work to my late father, Mohsen Zabad, my loving and caring mother, Soumaya Haidar, and all my wonderful brothers and sisters— Ghazi, Yousef, Sawsan, Samar, Sonia, Omran, Suhair and Ali—who stood by me through and through and who never wavered in their unconditional support. Finally, I dedicate the book to my late father-in-law, Abdel Kader Moutaib, and my late mother-in-law, Saadia Farid, who both cared for my kids while I was working on this book.
