  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  I can’t possibly thank all the people who helped with this book, for the simple reason that a hurricane destroyed my original list of people to acknowledge, along with many precious books and files. So, with apologies to anyone omitted, I thank Matthew Bartowiak, Lalitha Chandrasekher, Alison Pugh, Hank Sims, and Mitchell Verter for their enthusiastic research assistance. Heather Blurton and Lauriallen Reitzammer also made valuable contributions.

  A number of scholars and journalists graciously responded to my diverse and urgent questions, including Peter Brown, Peter Brooks, Reginald Butler, Michael Cook, E. J. Gorn, Allen Guttman, Edward Hagen, Arlie Hochschild, Riva Hocherman, Ann Killian, Marcel Kinsbourne, Simon Kuper, Peter Manuel, Jack Santino, James Scott, Laura Slatkin, Ellen Schattschneider, Wolfgang Schivelbusch, Katherine Stern, Ann Stolar, Michael Taussig, and Daniel Wann. I am especially indebted to Elizabeth Thompson for background on Arabian history and her translations from the Arabic.

  Among the people who were kind enough to comment on drafts of chapters are Diane Alexander, Darren Cushman Wood, Ben Ehrenreich, Edward Hagen, and William H. McNeill. The latter’s book Keeping Together in Time had helped convince me that the subject was worth pursuing in the first place.

  Janet McIntosh’s role in this project is impossible to categorize or express sufficient gratitude for. She began, while still a graduate student, as my research assistant, though teacher would be a better word, since her job was to send me stacks of readings that we would then discuss. There is very little in this book that she did not have something to say about, and I hope some of her brilliance and knowledge shines through.

  At Metropolitan Books, my longtime editor Sara Bershtel brought her usual vast erudition and razor-sharp logic to the task. I am also grateful to my copy editor, Vicki Haire, whose diligent fact-checking has no doubt saved me from much embarrassment. Finally, I thank all the people in the printing industry who are responsible for turning a manuscript into an actual book.
