This book is dedicated to my two daughters, Isabel and Juliana, who gave me the best job ever—being their mother. I feel most proud of my work when answering their “What do you do, Mommy?” questions. Keep being lionesses and telling us to turn off the water while we are brushing our teeth, to stop taking so many napkins, to buy a hybrid car, to recycle. You are our future, thankfully, and we should all refuse to destroy it for you.

This book is also dedicated to Mike Homer, a mentor, a friend, a hero, and a truly great man. I am indebted to him.
