Acknowledgments

My abiding appreciation once again goes to my assistant, Rebecca Boles, for her steadfast and cheerful help in preparing this book for publication, and to Manuel Castrillo, for technical support. As with my other books, this one would not have happened but for the thoughtful guidance of my longtime editor and friend, Jon Segal, and the sage advice of my literary agent, Rafe Sagalyn. I’m also grateful to my students and colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley, whose interest in and commitment to a better world are boundless.
