ACKOWLEDGEMENTS
I should start with Michael Levine, without whose coaxing I might still be thinking about writing this book. A month or two after I began, Heather Munro-Blum, principal of McGill University, invited me to her campus as a visiting scholar. I spent two stimulating years at the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, in the company of its director Antonia Maioni, and her wonderful colleagues and staff. I am most grateful to Heather, Antonia, and the McGill community for that opportunity and for many additional kindnesses.
