I have had some terrific teachers over the years. I dedicate this book to my formal supervisors and my informal mentors: Anton De Man and Stuart McKelvie of Bishop’s University; Bernie Lyman of Simon Fraser University; John Kennedy, André Kukla, and Doug Creelman of the University of Toronto; Ray Fancher of York University; Andrew Winston of the University of Guelph; Ludy Benjamin of Texas A&M University; and Michael Sokal of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I would never have made it this far into the academic life without their wisdom, support, and assistance.
