I wish to thank Professor Laurel Robinson, Chair of Visual Arts at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus and her Advanced Visual Arts Classes of 2011 and 2012 for supplying the many graphic-novel type illustrations for this manuscript.

These works were done as a graded class project in commercial illustration.

I would also thank Mary Parrish; Illustrator for the Department of Paleobiology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington as she was kind enough to review their and comment on their artwork.

These talented young artists have my gratitude; they are listed below in alphabetical order.
