The Day We Found the Universe - Marcia Bartusiak [171]
And throughout this long venture, I was fortunate to receive continual encouragement from my colleagues in the MIT Graduate Program in Science Writing—Rob Kanigel, Shannon Larkin, Tom Levenson, Alan Lightman, Boyce Rensberger—as well as close friends and family who kept my spirits high with their unceasing interest in my progress. For this I thank Elizabeth Eaton, Linda and Steve Wohler, the McCabes—Tara, Paul, Ian, and Hugh—Elizabeth Maggio, Ike Ghozeil, Sarah and Peter Saulson, Ellen and Marty Shell, Eunice and Cliff Lowe, and my mother, who will celebrate her eighty-eighth birthday soon after this book is published. I am grateful to my agent, Russ Galen, in never wavering to get this project off the ground, and to my editor, Edward Kastenmeier, for his ever enthusiastic advocacy, superb insights, and invaluable suggestions.
I am indebted to my husband, Steve Lowe, who provided both gentle criticism and a keen editorial eye throughout the course of my research and writing. His love, encouragement, and expertise on matters scientific helped bring this book to fruition. Thank you, Steve, for always being there.
Lastly, I should mention that the immense pleasure I experienced in working on this book inspired me to name my new bearded collie puppy, both a champ and a scamp, Hubble.
