Return from Berlin: The Eye of a Navigator

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments For a beginner at my advanced age, a book is an awesome project. I have an unusually clear long-term memory and exceptional things to remember, but to cause a book to become more than an fanciful daydream today, one needs the computer skills I've never learned. Fortunately, my daughter Juneko; my son Rob; and my busy scientist wife, Ei Terasawa; could type for me. In particular, Ei, in spite of her long hours devoted to neuroscience research, and the necessary world travel pertinent to it, was willing to make it all work for me, that is, the transformation of my Spencerian hand into neat manuscript on pages and disks; and often when I'd thought I'd said it right, I tended to change my mind. For this she never seemed to lose patience. And, although they live far away, my daughter Rinelda and son Dorian have shown their enthusiasm for and pride in the book. Also, I must thank my editor Erin Holman for keeping her cool in the face ofmy sometimes intransigent moods. Then too, my peer readers, with their wonderfully complimentary words recommending approval of the book, brought joy to my heart. They are Bruce Murray and Harold Scheub ofthe University of Wisconsin-Madison and Joseph Smith of the University of Chicago, an Englishman who likes my prose.
