Почти еженедельно я получала очередной желто-коричневый конверт от моего редактора Сэма Воэна. Его советами и предложениями я пользовалась, а вопросы никогда не оставляла без внимания. Я дорожу дружбой с ним.
Журнал Parade впервые опубликовал четыре отрывка из разделов «Осязание», «Зрение» и «Обоняние».
Глава «Обхаживая музу» появилась в The New York Times Book Review. Отрывок из «Почему осенью листья меняют цвет» в измененном виде опубликовал Conde Nast Traveler.
Глава «Как смотреть на небо» изначально предназначалась для книги Национального географического общества «Любознательный натуралист». Я воспроизвожу ее в этой книге и благодарю за понимание.
