Publisher's Synopsis
"In today's world, no textbook is brought to fruition through the work of the authors alone. Without the support of friends, family, and colleagues, it would not have been possible for us to complete our work on this text. The final product is truly a team effort. We want to express sincere gratitude to the staff of McGraw Hill for their help and encouragement. We sincerely appreciate Senior Portfolio Manager Matt Garcia and Product Developer Melisa Seegmiller for their hours of work, suggestions, patience, and undying encouragement"--.
