DEDICATION This book is dedicated to my wonderful husband, Michael J. Holub, and to organ and tissue donors everywhere, one of whom recently saved Michael's life by donating her liver after she tragically died. I hope that this dedication has a metacognitive benefit for readers who have not made arrangements to become organ and tissue donors, by telling their families of their wishes. Readers' metacognitive awareness of themselves as potential organ/tissue donors can enable readers to take control of their desires and destinies so they can help others either before or after they are gone. Perhaps increased public awareness of the tremendous need for organ and tissue donations could have saved the life of my dear friend and accomplished educational sociologist, Jann Azumi, who died seven years ago without having a potentially life saving bone marrow transplant.
