For Nicole, Robert, and William
Maps
Like any such effort, this one owes debts to countless people and sources that have informed my thinking over the decades, and it would be impossible to think of, much less list, them all. First and foremost Im grateful to my wife, Nicole, and to our sons, Robert and William, for the loving home that they have provided for me during the writing of this book.
I would like to thank my agent, Laurie Fox, for her help and support in this process. She dealt skillfully with a difficult prospect: a fully completed manuscript that I wrote out of my own head without a contract and without consulting her or, for that matter, anyone else.
A similar debt of gratitude is owed to Mitch Horowitz, my editor at TarcherPerigee, who took on this project with tremendous enthusiasm and who, moreover, has shown tremendous faith in me and my work over the past decade. He is an old-fashioned editor in the best sense of that term.
Drew Stevens, art director of Quest: Journal of the Theosophical Society in America, very graciously designed the maps and diagram for this book. I really appreciate his kind and enthusiastic help.
I would also like to thank Michael Burke, my copy editor, for his careful attention to the manuscript, which has been of great benefit both to me and to the final state of this book.
