I’m very grateful to my editor Jay Schaefer for his insight and guidance, and to Phil Cohen for sharing his time and expertise. Nurshen Bakir, Ted Conover, and Leslie Kogod were enormously helpful in reading early drafts. Many thanks also to Dr. Jeff Kishiyama for his expertise, and to Ralph King, Leslie Chao, Dr. Julia Gray, Suleyman Bahceci, Andy Black, Rita Roti, Lambert Meertens, Dr. Robert Leibold, Pam Strayer, Josh Crandall, KT Epstein, and Sasha for their generous help. Needless to say, any errors or shortcomings in this book are mine alone.
