This book is dedicated in memory of my father, Kenneth Owen Arnold, who always encouraged me to follow my dreams. When other adults discouraged me from entering the engineering field, he told me, “If you really like what you’re doing and you’re good at it, you will be successful.” Nowadays I get paid to have fun doing things I’d do for free anyway, so that meets my definition of success!
