ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank the faculty, staff, and students of Kent State University and the Tuscarawas Campus for their support in the work of this book. This book was begun while on a faculty professional improvement leave (FPIL) granted through the university, and the time given me helped immensely in getting this project off the ground, as well as in drafting two of the chapters. In particular, I would like to thank Beth Knapp for her unfailing faculty support, the student workers in the campus library for acquiring materials for me (to the point that they gave me my own shelf for requested books), as well as my faculty colleagues and good friends, Kathy David Patterson, Karen Powers, Ryan Hediger, Tony Dallacheisa, Adrian Jones, Jeremy Green, Jeff and Beth Osik
