We are keenly aware that without the hard and meticulous work of our Research Assistants, this project would not have come to completion. Our warm thanks, therefore, go to David Augustine, Elizabeth Farnsworth, Alex Fogleman, and Matthew Thomas. We are grateful to David Augustine for preparing the Index. Tom Perridge supported this project from the outset, and we thank him and the Oxford University staff, especially Karen Raith, for their help in the process of bringing the volume to publication. Finally, we wish to thank our wives, Linda Boersma and Joy Levering, for their support and encouragement during the years in which this volume was in preparation.
