Michael Swanwick - Bones of the Earth


BONES OF THE EARTH
by MICHAEL SWANWICK (2002)

[VERSION 1.1 (Dec 25 04). If you find and correct errors in the text, please update the version number
by 0.1 and redistribute.]



This book is dedicated to all good teachers everywhere, most particularly those of the
William Levering School and Central High School in Philadelphia, to whom more is owed
than can ever be repaid.
Special thanks are due to Ralph Chapman, Linda Deck, Tom Holtz, Pete Tillman, and
Bob Walters for giving generously of their time and knowledge. They are, of course, not
responsible for any errors I may have made, just as I am not responsible for anything
rendered invalid by discoveries they or their colleagues may make after this book reaches
print. I am also grateful to Harry Turtledove for help with Greek nomenclature, to Suzette
Haden Elgin for management strategies of the Lakota Sioux, to Charles Sheffield for the
future history of the Earth, to William Gibson for the Rolex Milgauss (nice watch, Bill!),
and to my favorite goddaughter in the known universe, Alicia Ma, for naming Lai-tsz. I am
most indebted, as always, to the M.C. Porter Endowment for the Arts, most particularly for
help writing the abstract for the infrasound paper.
