I also appreciate the staff at SAGE. Reid Heister is an organized editor who has moved this project through to its completion. Jim Strandberg is a creative developmental editor with superb insight. Lucy Berbeo did an amazing job of keeping track of all of the illustrations and figures for the book and came up with original ideas for graphics. Jane Haenel is excellent as a production editor who carefully brought everything together as a quality book. In addition, Judy Ray has supplied important insights and new perspectives to this project.
