Dedications and Acknowledgements

This project is dedicated to the memory of Al and Celia Arker

Additional Thanks:

There are obviously a lot of people who have contributed to this project; perhaps most importantly, I feel obligated to thank the authors who wrote the books that inspired this work. Without them, an entire interesting branch of literature simply wouldn't exist. I am also grateful to all the teachers who have encouraged me and given me the tools necessary to build a work like this; reaching this point has required a critical appreciation of literature, an understanding of database design and web programming, careful thinking about the organization of information, and a variety of other skills for which I likely owe someone thanks. Last but not least, I owe thanks to everyone who has helped me to discover books that I wasn't already aware of or answered my numerous online queries.

This list of thanks is not comprehensive -- since starting my database, I have begun attaching notes of thanks to the database records that they apply to. If you don't see your name here, try looking up the information you helped me with; you should be there. If not, I apologize -- contact me (demiankatz@gmail.com) and I'll correct the oversight.
