My literary agent Carrie Pestritto of the Prospect Agency is invaluable and, like my editor and Associate Publisher at Pegasus Books, Jessica Case, patient, professional, and efficient. The book’s interior designer, Maria Fernandez, used her considerable skills to rescue me as deadlines approached, and copyeditor Phil Gaskill detected, corrected, and removed errors no one else saw. I was fortunate to have the help of all these people.

Finally, I appreciate the other researchers who responded to my brief queries. I also urge the few who didn’t to devote a little time, at least, to explaining the nature and implications of their work to the public, particularly if they accept government grant money. Having an educated, involved public increases the chances of attaining a more supportive research environment. The negative consequences of having a wide gap between the educated and the uneducated are as dangerous as having a wide economic gap between the haves and have-nots.
