Their contributions are to be seen throughout the following pages. Charles S. (Rufus) Churcher Stephen G. Gilbert Thomas S. Parsons To our readers: Despite our best efforts, there are bound to be errors that escaped our notice, and we would appreciate being informed of these. We encourage you to contact us directly with your comments, suggestions, and possible ideas of text and illustrations for future editions of this book. We look forward to hearing from you.
