This book is dedicated to the One who guides my hand and mind.

I am eternally grateful to the love of my life, best friend, partner, and editor, Thomas Nickelsen, for his

effort, support, and help dealing with all that was involved in this work “behind the scenes.” I want to

thank all my beautiful models, readers, and students; I hope you like the result of this undertaking. I would

also like to express my appreciation to my Watson-Guptill team: Jenny Wapner, Lisa Westmoreland, Alisa

Garrison, Jennifer McClain, and Chloe Rawlins, who saw me through this book.
