Acknowledgments

I am indebted to Dr Arthur Burgess who demonstrated the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction for me in his laboratory at Glasgow Caledonian University; to Richard T. Hoos, MD, of the Neurology Group, PC of Nashville, Tennessee, who promptly and generously answered my medical questions with late-night faxes; and to my son Ben, who read various drafts and gave useful comments.
