An Introduction to Text Mininghas been a long time in the making, and there are too many people to count who deserve our thanks for helping to bring this book to publication. First and foremost, we must thank our undergraduate and graduate students who have shown so much enthusiasm for learning about online communities. It was their energy and questions that convinced us of the need for this book. Helen Salmon, Katie Ancheta, and the entire editorial and production staff at SAGE deserve our special thanks. In truth, it was Helen who got this project off the ground, and she and the entire SAGE staff, including SAGEs team of expert reviewers, provided support and guidance throughout the writing and production process. SAGEs reviewers played an especially critical role by providing invaluable feedback based on their research and teaching experiences in their home disciplines. A textbook as interdisciplinary as this one requires absolutely top-flight reviewers, and we were fortunate to have many of them. A special thank-you goes to Roger Clark, Kate de Medeiros, Carol Ann MacGregor, Kenneth C. C.
