Acknowledgments
Many people have helped me conceptualize, research, and finally publish this
book. Thanks to all of you who have made this possible. Profound apologies
to those of you who have worked with me at some point during the last few
years but whose names have inadvertently been omitted.Editors Alan McClare, Dean Birkenkamp, and Jill Rothenberg have all
played a major role in shepherding me through the process of writing this
book and moving it toward publication. Innumerable discussions of con-
cepts, facts, and resources with Dr. Frank Goldsmith and Dr. John Booker
had a profound influence in shaping this work (but, of course, I take all re-
sponsibility for its final form). Many thanks to the extraordinarily knowl-
edgeable and helpful staff at the University of Alaska Anchorage Consortium
Library who helped me find everything. A tip of the hat to former Dean
Wayne Miller for providing some important extra resources to allow me the
time to work on key sections of the book. Thanks to my colleagues on the
faculty research committee who awarded me a grant to pay for duplication
costs and to buy the services of student researchers. I have an eternal debt of
gratitude to my two ace researchers--Heidi Waldern and Michele Williams.
Finally, a big hug and a kiss for my wife, Christy Smith, who graciously put
up with years of me being preoccupied, occupied, or simply gone. Research-
ing and writing a book can be tough on a relationship. Thanks to her under-
standing, we survived.
