Jacket design by Jenny Kraemer Jacket art by Michael Massen v3.1 For my mother ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My sincere gratitude goes to the many people who made this book possible. I’d especially like to thank Candace Raney and the other wonderful professionals at Watson-Guptill, including Autumn Kindelspire and Jenny Kraemer, who made this project a reality. Many thanks, as well, to James Waller for his careful, considerate, and unflagging efforts in editing the manuscript. I am grateful to Amla Sangvhi for her advice and guidance in my researching and securing the outside illustrations; Rob Schaffer for reviewing and correcting my understanding of the scientific concepts in the work; and my friends and fellow artists Debra Goertz and John Brown for their feedback and encouragement when the project was little more than a hope and an outline. Special thanks go to the professional models and friends who gave so much time and energy posing for the illustrations, among whom I count John Forkner, Laura Mae Noble, Emily Roberts, Amy Russ, Renée Veneziale, and Izaskun Zabala.
