Acknowledgments
Many people helped make this book a reality, and I am very appreciative for each of them. The influence of Gary Cordner (Emeritus Professor, Kutztown University) can be traced back to the very beginnings of this book and his assistance is well reflected in this edition as well. Thanks Gary. I also acknowledge Jerry Westby, former publisher at SAGE, whose good decisions and persuasive talk led to the creation of the first edition of this book. The success of this book is due in large part to the dedication of the entire SAGE team. Jessica Miller and Adeline Grout are an author’s dream come true and were always a pleasure to work with. I also would like to acknowledge the hard work of Sarah Downing and Karin Rathert. These individuals also helped make this an outstanding text.
