John Veres would like to thank Sonia Livingston and Lucy Hall for their
comments on a number of the chapters included herein. Roxanne Johnson spent
more time with the manuscript than either of the editors and, quite possibly, all
of the authors combined. Without her help, this book would not have been
possible. Lastly, he would like to express his gratitude to the authors, who
suffered through working with a novice editor without complaint.

A special thanks from Ronald Sims goes to Herrington Bryce who has been
instrumental in encouraging his professional growth and development. The
support of the School of Business at the College of William and Mary is also
acknowledged. And finally, Serbrenia, Vellice, Nandi, Dangaia, and Sieya are
always there when they are needed.
