During the final stages of preparation, we were saddened to learn of the death of Professor Demetrios "Jim" Yermanos, one of the most distinguished scientists working in jojoba research. His buoyant sense of optimism about jojoba generated enormous interest in the plant in Southern California and around the world. His vast knowledge of the plant, and his willingness to share that knowledge, were of immense help in the development of this book.
