Colleagues and friends have been generous and kind in their criticisms, commentary, and advice on various parts of the manuscript. I am grateful to Alexi Assmus, Ted Benfey, Micheline Charpentier-Morize, Mi Gyung Kim, Roald Hoffmann, Karl Hufbauer, Peter Loewenberg, John Servos, and especially Sam Schweber. Terry Shinn offered provocative comments on my early thinking about models and metaphors, as did John Heilbron on my initial reflections about the historical demarcation of physics and chemistry.
