With profound gratitude, I dedicate this book to the entirety of the Ring of Fire community, who were enthusiastic in their welcome, and have proven to be a singularly helpful and dedicated group of pros and fans. Their tireless work as researchers, fact-checkers, and proof-readers enriched and improved every page of this manuscript, as well as the other ones I have had the honor of contributing to this series.
