The cover image is a painting by Fernando Botero entitled "Nuestra Señora de Colombia." I am very grateful to Señor Botero for granting permission to use this image, as his work is especially meaningful to the people of Medellín. He was born there, and his work is exhibited permanently in the
Museum of Antioquia. For more information about the life and work of the world-renowned artist Fernando Botero, please check out this site:
