this project. Many thanks also to the other individuals and organizations who contributed illustrations or assisted in the preparation of visual materials: Stuart Kenter and Tom McCarthy (Stuart Kenter Associates)—photo research and permissions; Gary Antonetti and Jon Daugherity (Ortelius Design)—cartography; Phyllis Wood (Phyllis Wood Associates Scientific Illustration)—icon design; Turid Owren—legal services; and the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators.
I would also like to thank the librarians, information specialists, and other staff at the following libraries, who guided me through numerous arcane bibliographic and electronic searches and helped me navigate their collections: University of Washington libraries, University of British Columbia libraries, Simon Fraser University Library, University of California—Los Angeles libraries (including the Rare Books collection of the biomedical library), University of Hawaii libraries, National Marine Mammal Laboratory Library, Woodland Park Zoological Gardens Library, Vancouver Public Aquarium Library, Seattle Public Library, Vancouver Public Library. Many rare journals, books, monographs, dissertations, and technical reports were not available at these institutions and were obtained primarily through the interlibrary loan division of the Seattle Public Library. Thanks to the hardworking staff in this division, and to the following institutions and organizations for loaning or otherwise making available from their library collections rare or hard-to-find items: California Academy of Sciences, Evergreen State College, Humboldt State University, Idaho State University, Montana State University, Oregon Regional Primate Research Center, Portland State University, The Royal Australasian Ornithologists’ Union, University of Alaska, University of Alberta, University of California— Davis, University of California—Irvine, University of California—Santa Cruz, University of Kansas, University of Minnesota, University of Montana, University of Oregon, University of Texas—Austin, University of Utah, University of Victoria, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, University of Wyoming, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, Vancouver Public Library, Washington State University. For help with translations of scientific articles, thanks to Sergei V. Mihailov (Russian), John R. Van Son (Dutch), and Courtney Searles-Ridge (German).
Finally, I am truly indebted to the many other people who provided personal support, encouragement, feedback, commiseration, and inspiration over the many years that this book was in gestation (and labor!), including Dawn Bates, Nicola Bessell, Thom Feild, Neal Graves, Ed Kaplan, Clara Ma, Nathan Ohren, Jackal Plumb, Michael Rochemont, and Liza White. Thank you most deeply, Nicola, for holding my hand as I leapt into the void … .
