M ost of this book was written while we were working at the AIDS Prevention Research Project, which was supported by the John Templeton Foundation, at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies. We wish to thank our team members from the AIDS Prevention Research Project (Daniel Halperin, Tim Mah, and Jennifer Goldsmith), the John Templeton Foundation, the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, and our Harvard Faculty Advisory Committee. We also wish to thank a number of individuals for intellectual input and/or moral support, in alphabetical order: Emily Chambers, Jim Chin, Paul DeLay, Nicole DErrico, Cedza Dlamini, Melissa Farley, Norman Hearst, Janice Hogle, Estie Hudes, Phoebe Kajubi, Moses Kamya, Doug Kirby, Laurie Krieger, John Lozier, Suzanne LeClerc-Madlala, Ray Martin, Tom Merrick, Elaine Murphy, Vinand Nantulya, Neill Orr, David Patient, Bill Roberts, Sam Ruteikara, Rand Stoneburner, Jim Shelton, Cathy Watson, and Bill Weintraub. Discussions with these friends and colleagues certainly made this a better book, but they do not necessarily agree with or endorse everything written here.

We wish to especially thank H. Russell Bernard and Jennifer Collier of Left Coast Press for recognizing the significance of this book and for being such pleasant people to work with in bringing it to press. Russ Bernard has provided extraordinary support and guidance to Green for over 30 years. And special thanks to Carole Bernard for copy editing above and beyond the call of duty.

Finally, we are grateful for the invaluable support shown by friends and family members (particularly our spouses, Suzie McLaughlin and Joel Ruark) throughout this endeavor.
