This book is dedicated to: Kathryn Corbeau Blumenfeld-Jones, who everyday teaches me what it means to live ethically, and David Purpel, who first challenged me to start this work, and without whose constant presence as an inspiration, this work would never have found itself. I dedicate this book to him in his memory.
