ACK NOW LED GEM ENTS

A number of student researchers helped me wit h the f‌irst edition of

this book during several years of research leading up to its publica-

tion. Kerry Hillier, Pam Cyr, and Phil Kennedy provided substant ial

assistance dur ing this stage, and my colleague Murray Rank in furnished

valuable suggestions and editorial assistance. Special thank s go to

Constance Ladell, who worked with me on virtually every part of the

f‌irst edition, and without whose help I could never have completed it

on time. And, speaki ng of time, my greatest debt of appreciation is to

Erin Shaw for helping me to f‌ind the time when I needed it and for giv-

ing me the personal support to carry through this project. I also want

to recognize the huge contribution of Professor Elizabeth Adjin-Tettey

to the second and third editions. She played the major role in bring-

ing the work up-to-date and introduced improvements to the an alysis

offered in the origina l work.
