Outside the world of scholarship, most helpful were: Lawrence Adamo; Mel Berger; Jim Dowrey (my wonderful computer consultant); John D. Goodson; Elisabeth Gracy; Stephen Greenwald; Didier and Martine Halimi; Gerald Harris; Alan Hedge; Paul S. Jellinger; Anne Miller; Jeremy N. Ruskin; and Stuart Wachter.
I want to thank my extraordinary Thames & Hudson/London team: Roger Thorp, Amber Husain, Kate Burvill and my marvellous editor, Katharine Ridler; and my Thames & Hudson/New York team: Christopher Sweet, Harry Burton and Sarah Thegeby.
Finally, thanks to my literary agent Claudia Cross and my international rights agent Melissa Sarver White of Folio Literary Mgt.
This book, which took twelve years to write, owes much to the love and support of those closest to me – my husband and best friend, Leon S. White, and my sons David S. White and Joel S. White, Joel’s wife, Heidi Boncher, and their children, my granddaughters, Ella Rae White and Nina Ariel White.
