We dedicate this book to the memory of the late Nalini Ambady, a scholar whose significant research was the inspiration for this book. We lost her far too soon; she had many wonderful contributions to make to the field. May others continue in her footsteps. Jason Warnick would like to dedicate this work to his wife Kyla and their two sons, Ian and Eli. Dan Landis dedicates, always to Rae, who over 54 years has never lost faith that she made the right decision in the Spring of 1960.
