I am thankful to Peter Goodman for his willingness to take on this project—as well as for his keen eye and encouragement along the way.
I am also indebted to many of the people who appear in these pages—my teachers and students, colleagues, family, and friends.
My gratitude to Koun and to our children, Cormac and Norah, is boundless. Thank you, my wonderful family, for your constant love and support.
