"This book would not be what it has become without the remarkable talents of my close friend and colleague William Bode. He is responsible for creating all of this book’s illustrations. I thoroughly enjoyed our back and forth for the last four months of this project. Your ability to turn ideas and concepts into beautiful clear graphics left me proud and deeply impressed. I am so grateful for our friendship and the parallel paths we've followed over the past decade and beyond. I am so astonished by your artistic skill, your patient listening, the open, understanding way you respond to comments and accept feedback, and the beautiful simplicity of the lives you and Corinne lead. I hope this is just another step in many more collaborations and that readers fully appreciate the elegant clarity of the works of art you've contributed."
