  5. Acknowledgements Derek Torres I’d like to first thank my good friend co-author, Stuart Mudie, for con- tributing four chapters to this book. This book certainly is richer thanks to his help. I’d also like to thank my wife, Céline, and our two lads for putting up with my seven day work weeks so that I could complete my writing. Special thanks to our brilliant team at Wiley, including our acquisitions editor Jody Lefevere (thanks for yet another opportunity to undertake a labor of love), our project editor Beth Taylor, and our tech- nical editor Jim Kelly. I’d like to thank my agent, Lynn Haller, for her dedication and hard work. Thanks to my parents, family and friends who’ve helped along the way. I’d also like to thank both Arnaud and Alan, who put me on the path to writing. Stuart Mudie Thanks to Ellie and Justine, for everything, and in particular for their patience and support during the writing of this book; my parents Marion and Bill Mudie, for all their love and encouragement, without which I wouldn’t be where I am today; my co-author Derek Torres, for his friend- ship over the years and in particular for getting me involved in this pro- ject in the first place; Lucia Holguín Diego, whose father might one day tell her why; my agent, Lynn Haller, for her hard work and dedication; and our editors Jody Lefevere, Beth Taylor and Jim Kelly, and all the other fine folks at Wiley.
