Благодарности

Я хотел бы выразить глубокую признательность Дэвиду Кристиану за то, что он меня учил, предоставил бесчисленные возможности и оставался рядом в хорошие и плохие времена, особенно во время нынешних бедствий, вызванных пандемией.

Я также искренне благодарен своим родителям, Сьюзан и Грегу Бейкер, за их помощь и безграничное терпение, за то, что они поддержали меня в работе на довольно необычном поприще.

Хочу сказать огромное спасибо Джейсону Галлату за решающую моральную поддержку в последние несколько месяцев и за чтение рукописи этой книги. Вы буквально спасли мне жизнь.

В этой связи я также хотел бы поблагодарить Карен Стэпли и Мэтта Дительджана за чтение рукописи этой книги и полезные замечания, которые значительно улучшили ее качество.

Наконец, я благодарю Майло. Он знает, за что.
