Author’s NoteI have been work<strong>in</strong>g on this book <strong>of</strong>ficiallys<strong>in</strong>ce 2005, and un<strong>of</strong>ficially formy entire adult life. I have spoken andwritten to hundreds, perhaps thousands,<strong>of</strong> people about the topicscovered <strong>in</strong>side, and have read as manybooks, scholarly papers, magaz<strong>in</strong>earticles, chat-room discussions, andblog posts. Some <strong>of</strong> these I mention <strong>in</strong>the book; others <strong>in</strong>formed almost everysentence I wrote. <strong>Quiet</strong> stands on manyshoulders, especially the scholars andresearchers whose work taught me somuch. In a perfect world, I would havenamed every one <strong>of</strong> my sources, mentors,and <strong>in</strong>terviewees. But for the sake<strong>of</strong> readability, some names appear only<strong>in</strong> the Notes or Acknowledgments.
