think that one of the best things about
him was his humility.
This book is dedicated, with love, to
my childhood family. To my mother,
with her endless enthusiasm for quiet
kitchen-table chats; she gave us children
the gift of intimacy. I was so lucky
to have such a devoted mother. To my
father, a dedicated physician who
taught by example the joys of sitting for
hours at a desk, hunting for knowledge,
but who also came up for air to introduce
me to his favorite poems and science
experiments. To my brother and
sister, who share to this day the
warmth and affection of having grown
up in our small family and household
full of literature. To my grandmother,
for her pluck, grit, and caring.
And in memory of my grandfather,
who spoke so eloquently the language
of quiet.
