DEDICATION

With regard to holism, I dedicate this work to Ebru, named for an ancient Turkish art involving abstract colored patterns that initially appear random but evoke meaningful images. With regard to integration, I dedicate this work to the loving memory of my parents who taught me respect and tolerance. With regard to learning and instruction, I dedicate this work to my children, who have taught me that I know less than I am inclined to believe. And, with regard to technology, I dedicate this work to Walt Davis who said that when stuck trying to resolve a complex software problem one should make a single random change and observe what happens. J. Michael Spector

I dedicate this work to my husband and son whose support and sense of humor help me to achieve my goals Theresa M. Anderson
