Acknowledgements
In order for a book of this size and scope to be completed, the work, cooperation, and support of many people were necessary. Each of the contributors invested much time and energy to write their chapters. The contributors were, to a person, very professional in their responses to numerous suggestions for changes. The quality of their contributions will speak for itself. They were patient and supportive during the seemingly endless editorial process.
Dan Fasko would also like to thank his wife, Sharla, for her assistance, undying support, and patience during the entire process of putting together this book. And I would like to thank Frank for co-editing this volume with me. This book is better because of collaborating with him.
Frank Fair would like to give a very special thanks to his wife Janet whose patience through some difficult moments enabled the project to go forward, and thanks particularly to Dan for inviting him to be part of the project.
And, of course, we are both very grateful to Jolanda Karada for her invaluable assistance, and John Bennett, Education Editor for Brill | Sense, for his willingness to publish this book and for his patience during this process.
