The Rules of Contagion

copyediting the finished manuscript. And to my agent Peter Tallack,
for his support and advice over the past few years. I am grateful to
my parents for all their comments on initial drafts, as well as to Clare
Fraser, Rachel Humby, Munir Jahangir, Stephen Rice, and Graham
Wheeler for giving feedback on early chapters. Finally, I would like to
thank my amazing, inspiring wife Emily, who I was lucky enough to
meet while writing my last book, and lucky enough to marry while
writing this one.
