Part II · Chapter 01 — Dedication
To my family — and to Sarah above all.
I wrote this book, and whatever books may follow it, to preserve the knowledge we have gained over a lifetime. It is meant to be an archive: a record of what our family believes, of the experiences we have lived through, and of how to read the world we actually live in — not the one most people assume is all there is.
My hope is that you will always have it to return to. Whenever something comes that needs to be faced, this is where you can look — so that you are never left to figure it out alone, the way I so often had to.
I love my family very much. More than anything, I want you armed with as much knowledge as I can give you, so that you are ready to defend yourselves against whatever challenges your lives may bring — the ones everyone faces, and the ones most people never even know are there.
Sarah, this is for you, and for your children, and for theirs. Keep it. Learn it. And when the time comes, teach it.
Love, your "Fazer" — Phillip Tarrant
