xv Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank George Butler, our original editor at ABC-­CLIO, who welcomed us, encouraged us, and was kind and helpful to us as we started our plan- ning and research. Many thanks are due to John Wagner, se­nior development editor, who supervised our work for the final two years. He was unfailingly available, consid- erate, and supportive. Other members of the writing, editing, and marketing staff at ABC-­CLIO also contributed to the success of this work. Their help has been much appreciated. Many thanks to the Academic Affairs office at King’s College, Wilkes-­ Barre, which allowed a reduced teaching load to provide additional time to devote to researching and writing this work. Lastly, we would like to thank Christopher Bellitto, PhD, who first suggested this proj­ect to us.
