Acknowledgments While there are always many people to thank in any book project, I owe a special thanks to my editor at ABC-CLIO, Debbie Carvalko. The idea for this book emerged as part of a larger discussion about working with Prae- ger, a publisher with whom I have a long-standing relationship. Debbie’s ideas and editorial skills were integral to what comes in the following pages. Her enthusiasm for the project and hard work greatly improved this manuscript, but any errors, omissions, or oversights are mine to bear. Thank you, Debbie, for your friendship and for the opportunity to bring issues, problems, and insight to the people who matter.
