Each was writing in an area of his or her expertise, but we understand that a request for an original contribution always requires significant work, commitment, and time. We greatly appreciate their willingness to participate in this project. We also thank the members of the Advisory Board who provided such ex- cellent suggestions for contributors and often provided introductions that were very helpful in our recruiting endeavors. Of the many challenges involved with the preparation of a work such as this, achieving consis- tency in citation and referencing style is among the most arduous. That task was eased by the efforts of Angela Collins, who worked competently and quickly to bring many of the chapters in line with the required style. Finally, we are especially grateful to Steve Catalano, acquisitions editor at Praeger Publishers/ABC-CLIO. Throughout the process, Steve provided helpful suggestions, encouragement, advice, and support. Thank you, Steve!
