I want to extend special thanks to my editorial associate, Pat Lane. I could
not have undertaken this revision without Pat’s help. She skillfully drafted materi-
als for the chapters, found original sources, and did an outstanding job with last-
minute changes, the copyedited manuscript, art, and galley proofs. Pat’s talent
and personal enthusiasm for this text added greatly to its excellence.
The editors at South-Western also deserve special mention. Joe Sabatino,
Senior Acquisitions Editor, supported the concept for this book and obtained the
resources necessary for its completion. Emma Newsom, Senior Developmental

Editor, provided terrific support for the book’s writing, reviews, copyediting, and
production. Mike Guendelsberger, Developmental Editor, also assisted during
the development of the text. Cliff Kallemeyn, Senior Content Project Manager,
smoothly took the book through the production process. Tippy McIntosh, Art
Director, created the design for the fourth edition.
Finally, I want to acknowledge my loving family. I received much love and
support from my wife, Dorothy Marcic, and daughters Elizabeth at George
Washington University, Solange in Ecuador, Roxanne in Israel, and Amy and
Danielle in Texas. I appreciate the good feelings and connections with my daugh-
ters and grandchildren. On occasion, we have been able to travel, ski, watch
a play, or just be together—all of which reconnect me to the things that really
count.
