Acknowledgements

I am grateful to:

The Institute for Shipboard Education and its Fall 2001 Semester at Sea world voyage for organizing and implementing the voyage during the trying time following the September 11 Trade Center Disaster in NYC.

The faculty, staff, crew, students and other adult passengers who made this the voyage an unforgettable experience.

Eric Forti, a student at Binghamton University, who patiently taught me everything I know about Web sites.

To many others, too numerous to list, who contributed to the creation of this work.
