From the Author: It has been an honor to work with National Geographic material in the preparation of this book. My thanks
are due to my excellent development editors Maureen Sotoohi and Eve Einselen Yu, to Laura LeDréan, Tom Jefferies, Mary
Whittemore, and the entire team at National Geographic Learning. The project has benefited from the expertise and enthusiasm
of many experienced reviewers, and their contribution is also greatly appreciated. Finally, it has been an absolute privilege to
work alongside my fellow authors, Daphne Mackey, Amy Cooper, and Sammi Eckstut. Hats off to you all!
Dedication: To Vicky, my wife and best friend, for her timeless love and support; to my wonderful sons, Thomas and
Robin, for keeping me going; and last but not least, to my beloved border terrier, Bodhi, for his patience (sometimes!)
and unflagging optimism throughout.
