Acknowledgments
George Leonard and Sam Keen are comrades in a long-term exploration of these territories. Without their encouragement, their criticisms and their faith in the enterprise, Jacob Atabet may never have made it to the publisher. Along the way, Richard Price, Jim Hickman, Mike Spino, Arthur Deikman and Jerry Smith made important suggestions and helped in various ways through the work they are doing along these lines. Saul-Paul Sirag tutored me in physics and biology so that I could understand this often puzzling material, and David Morris helped put the finishing touches to the manuscript. And, from beginning to end, Dulce Murphy was as constant as Corinne Wilde must have been; without her there would have been no book at all.
