Acknowledgments
I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for the
encouragement I have received from friends, family, and colleagues
throughout the writing of this book. I would especially like to thank
my family for their support: Christina Gee, Doug and Judi Watkins,
and Monte and Julie Watkins.
The guidance I received from the editors of this book series,
Roger Kaufman, Richard Gerson, and Dale Brethower, has added
great value, and working with each of them has been a pleasure.
I am also grateful for the many colleagues and students who
have participated in the development of the ideas and concepts that
are found in this book, including Mike Corry, Diane Atkinson, Bill
Robie, Ralph Mueller, Mary Futrell, Stephen Joel ...
