Acknowledgements

InDesign is a beautiful creation. I am grateful to those who made it and am extremely fortunate to call a number of them my friends: Michael Ninness, Chris Kitchener, Ashley Mitchell, Nathan Brutzman, and, of course, Douglas Waterfall. Ashley, you’ve been an especially great supporter and thoughtful bringer of scones when the need is greatest. Thank you!

I am very indebted to my students who continue to ask the tough questions and keep me on my toes. You are the source of my passion for teaching.

To the Rocky Nook team, thank you for taking on this series. Lisa, your wit and eye for detail are well appreciated!

When I don’t write so good, there’s an editor to protect my reputation. (Did you see what I did there?) I’m so grateful to you, Jocelyn, for making this a better book.

Finally, and most emphatically, I thank my wife, Carla, who ensures that I see sunlight once in a while. And even if there is none, she brightens the day.
