Acknowledgments
I’VE ENCOUNTERED so many interesting and helpful people that I know I am leaving some out.
For their generous willingness to give me information and tell me stories, thanks to Terri Block, Alan Bond and Judy Diamond, Janette Wenrick Boughman, Gerry Brady, Richard G. Coss, Martha White Coyote, Michael Dee, Saba and Dudu Douglas-Hamilton, Mike Dulaney, Barbara French, Stephen Glickman, Sarah McCarthy, Greta McMillan, Jan Mosterd, David G. Myers, Irene Pepperberg, David Powell, Bill Rainey, Pat Savage of the World Pheasant Association, Lori Tarou, Steve Taylor, Janet Tilson, Ron Tilson, Beth Weise (who translated from the Swedish), Patricia Winters, and Bradburn Young.
For their assistance, kindness, and encouragement on this project, thanks to Paulina Borsook, Linda Dyer, Mary Lynn Fischer, Jim Fisher, Thaisa Frank, Andrew Gunther, Barbara Gunther, Sumana Harihareswara, Cynthia Heimel, Janet Jones, Karen Kienitz, Jack King, Bruce Koball, Mary Susan Kuhn, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, John McCarthy, Teresa Moore, and Judith Newman. As promised, I grovel before the kindness and skills of Brady Lea, David Gallagher, and Su. Suttle Taggart. Abjectly. The libraries of San Francisco State University, the Mechanics’ Institute, the California Academy of Sciences, the University of California at San Francisco, and the University of California at Berkeley were tremendously helpful, but I owe the greatest debt to the interlibrary loan staff at the San Francisco Public Library, who hunted out any number of obscure journal articles and books with never a peep of complaint or incredulity.
Thanks also to the crowd at the water cooler, also known as The Well (well.com). Get back to work. Also Salon.com, with special thanks to Andrew Leonard.
My patient, smart, and cheerful agent, Stuart Krichevsky, made it all happen.
Thanks to my wonderful editor at HarperCollins, Jennifer Brehl, who took on a twice-orphaned book with the enthusiasm and understanding of someone who’d been there from the beginning, and who generously sent me Terry Pratchett books when she must have known I’d drop work to read them.
Thanks most of all to my family, who heard all these animal stories and many more, and continued to encourage me: Joseph Gunther, Kitty McCarthy, and Daniel Gunther. I’m a lucky person.
