Acknowledgments
David Brown undertook the truly daunt-
ing task of reading through and checking the
entire book—formulas, recommendations,
and procedures. To say I’m deeply apprecia-
tive of his diligent and watchful eye would
be an understatement.
At International Marine, Ben McCanna
was incredibly careful and conscientious inediting the manuscript, Shannon Swanson
created the outstanding design, and Molly
Mulhern presided carefully over production.
Perhaps most important there’s Jon Eaton of
International Marine. His good advice and—
above all—remarkable patience stand behind
every word of this text.
To all my deep and sincere thanks.
