Acknowledgements

HAB Book Import from Multimarkdown (link pending) #filed

The biggest thanks go to Steve Murphey and Ben Griffiths. Steve was the motivator that got me started on this in the first place, provided feedback along the way, and hosts the forum where we direct all readers to discuss their projects. Ben also helped significantly with motivation and perspective but made his biggest contributions by sitting down with me and helped me finish sorting out how this book was going to be organized.

Other folks that have lent a significant hand are Todd Weber for support and feedback, the same for Bob Henson as well as the balloon folks he put me in touch with. Luke Geissbuhler for offering all his work and giving me really outstanding feedback on the balloon project early in its planning phase. Marianne Eppig for keeping me going and giving me some writing advice.

Jakub Kostecki for helping me build a small business around my passion for science communication and for writing this book. Not to mention the life guidance and friendship he offered from the day we met.
