Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge the guidance and assistance of Grace Freedson, Michele Paige, Micah Burch, Kate Johnson, Steven Tuntono, Beth McFadden, Talbot Katz, and my editors, John Aherne and Joseph Berkowitz. My two sisters and brother made invaluable contributions as my most plain-spoken critics.

In addition, throughout this project, I was inspired by fans of my Junk Charts blog, www.junkcharts.typepad.com.
