Developing a book of any magnitude requires time away from family and friends, so as we finish this one, we must confess that despite the obvious intellectual and personal satisfactions we enjoyed while writing this book, it was not always a pleasant experience. The book’s contents are for the most part the result of scribbling on napkins over numerous macchiati and espressos away from the office at different posts over the years.
