DEDICATIONS
To all my family near and far, each of whom in your own way has
supported, encouraged, and inspired me.
—Richard Beale
To my mother (for encouragement), grandfather (for teaching me to
draw from an earlyage), and son (for inspiration). Also, thanks to all those
engineers and designers who took the patience to inform and educate me
over these past many years.
—Paul Bowers
