The book wouldn’t have been nearly as good without the help of Lisa Gaudette. Thank you so much for your patience, hard work, and grammar/ punctuation lessons. Whenever I thought we had cleaned up a piece of text, you always found more ways to make it better. I would also like to thank Mirjam Visser for her extensive review of the manuscript as well as the pleasant discussions we had on data management. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family for their support. I know I have been hiding behind my computer to finish the manuscript and wouldn’t have been able to make so much progress without your flexibility and support.
As a last remark, I would like to point out that a lot of time and effort went into checking the material. Any errors that remain are my own. I hope you find the book interesting and useful. Enjoy the read!
