Acknowledgements
Books such as this are rarely possible without the intellectual endeavor and goodwill of colleagues in the field. Fortunately, I work in an international research community that is challenging but also supportive. I am particularly grateful to all of the contributors in this book for providing chapters of such quality and depth. I am also grateful to the series editor for encouraging me to publish this book and to the publishers for their professionalism and support. Special thanks go to Jim Spillane for his friendship and intellectual generosity. I have learned a great deal from him and continue to do so. In any career there are people who influence us and who provide opportunities that take us further than we could ever have anticipated. My own intellectual journey benefited from the early influence of two leading academics, David Hopkins and Christopher Day. I would like to thank them both. Alma Harris
