ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
To my beautiful wife, Janet, and son, Billy—together you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you for your patience, love, and unwavering support.
Very special thanks to my literary agent, the wonderful and wise Elaine Markson. At the Elaine Markson Agency, I am indebted to Elaine’s assistant, Gary Johnson, and I thank him for his advice and kindness.
At Harmony, I was incredibly lucky to have John A. Glusman edit my first book. I am also indebted to his superb team of coworkers.
To my dear friend and colleague, Patricia J. Wynne—my sincerest thanks and admiration, especially for your ability to bring my ideas to life with pen and ink and for urging me to “get another oar in the water.”
I’ve been fortunate to have had several mentors in my educational and professional life. Most important, I am grateful to John W. Hermanson (Field of Zoology, Cornell University), who took a chance on me in 1990. As my graduate committee chairman, mentor, and friend, John not only taught me how to think like a scientist but also the value of figuring things out for yourself. At Cornell, I was guided by the talented tag team of John E. A. Bertram and Deedra McClearn—with a huge and welcome assist from James “Camuto Jim” Ryan (Hobart and William Smith College).
At my favorite place in the world, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), bat biologist extraordinaire, Karl F. Koopman, was and will remain an inspiration to me and I am proud to have known him. Arthur M. Greenhall confirmed my initial hunch that “a vampire bat wasn’t a vampire bat wasn’t a vampire bat,” and in doing so this funny little New Yorker set me on a career path that would eventually lead to this book. Nancy B. Simmons has been an unwavering supporter, superb collaborator, and trusted friend. It is definitely good to know the Queen. Also at the AMNH, my “younger brother” Darrin Lunde and I have spent many hours deep in discussion (scientific and otherwise), generally with our friends Ollie, Big Nick, and Aurora. Darrin was
