Acknowledgments
The preparation of a book on the shrubs and woody vines requires the use of information from the publications of many authors and from herbarium collections of many field botanists. The authors are grateful to all these persons. In addition, we wish to express our gratitude to those who have provided assistance, encouragement, and cooperation in the preparation of the manuscript and its color photographs. Special thanks are due Howard Miller, Fred Galle, Raleigh Bryans, Robert Platt, Lance Lowell, Mike Moore, Ann and Leo T. Barber, John Bozeman, Greg Krakow, Bill Houghton, Linda Chafin, Wayne Faircloth, and Ruth Bell. Unless otherwise credited, all photographs were taken by the authors.
Margarita and Eugene Cline permitted use of their extensive arboretum for photographs, helped in locating specific shrubs, and advised on optimum flowering and fruiting times. Nancy Coile provided support of the University of Georgia Herbarium, identifying many voucher specimens. Anna Baker located numerous references and patiently made copies of the manuscript. We were given every assistance by the University of Georgia Libraries and the Department of Botany.
The assistance of many individuals at Timber Press in preparing the manuscript for publication is acknowledged. We are especially indebted to Carol Krom for suggestions which improve the text and for careful editing. Richard Abel's advice on subject matter and content and its treatment was particularly helpful.
