Acknowledgments
We would like to acknowledge that like all academic work, this book is the product of a collaboration of many individuals who had an influence, and we would like to thank them specifically. Chief among them are the research assistants that toiled through the mind-numbing and infinitely frustrating data collection process for each of the over 3100 counties in the United States and for that we thank Ben Haller, Melissa Funk, and Richard Poll. We also thank those who provided comments at the conferences, throughout the drafting process, and those who influenced our thinking and understanding of quality of life. Finally, we thank those who supported us through the process of writing this book, our families, and significant others.
