Acknowledgments

Many thanks to Naomi Schneider of the University of California Press, who shepherded these essays into print with such heartening enthusiasm and care, and to the artist who drew the picture on the cover of the book, her eight-year-old daughter. And thanks for an extremely careful job to Christopher Lura, production editor Brian Ostrander at Westchester Publishing Services, and copy editor Vickie West.

Thanks to the anonymous readers for the Press and to Neil Smelser and Rob Willer for their extremely helpful comments on the manuscript, especially on “Empathy Maps.” A very special thanks to Allison Pugh for a bracing but fantastic tough-love read that rescued me from the idea that I was done. Warm thanks to Sarah Garrett, my gifted co-author on “The Personalized Market and the Marketized Self” and comrade-in-arms through the long process of updating statistics and integrating fresh readings into the text. To Bonnie Kwan, deep thanks for her help through every stage of production, her loyal friendship, and her delicious sense of the absurd. To Anita Garey and Karen Hansen, I give my deep thanks for our safely probing conversations during summer visits over the years, a precious gift to this book and to me. To Adam, my deepest gratitude for taking time from his own emerging book on the Spanish Civil War to patiently revisit long-discussed ideas, and for all that he does and is.

And to Rosa, 7, whose leprechaun trap sits waiting on our kitchen floor, and to Sonia, 5, who offered me her most precious box of colored sequins, I dedicate this book.
