We dedicate this book to

Our Children:

Maxwell and Evelyn, who were born during the writing of this book.

Ari and Lev, who continued to grow, teach, and learn as we wrote.

We hope this book will contribute to your generation and beyond

through the good work of those who read this and use research as a tool

to help heal our world.

And to Our Students:

Whose questions, passions, concerns, and commitments have shaped this book beyond words. Thank you for your engaging learning, your curiosity, and for being our teachers.

Curiosity as restless questioning, as movement toward the revelation of something hidden, as a question verbalized or not, as search for clarity, as a moment of attention, suggestion, and vigilance, constitutes an integral part of the phenomenon of being alive. There could be no creativity without the curiosity that moves us and sets us patiently impatient before a world that we did not make, to add to it something of our own making.
