We would like to thank Robyn Macpherson for his great assistance with the book materials and references, which made it possible for the 8th edition to be published on time. Carol Kelley inspired me to write.Thanks to Andree Debmge for his last minute help.I would like to thank the following reviewers for their valuable suggestions for this edition: Steven Isonio, Golden West College; Cindy Sifonis, Oakland University; Michael Tagler, Nebraska Wesleyan University; and Chris Ward, Stonehill College. Editor at Allyn & Bacon, Susan Hartman, has provided guidance, enthusiasm, and support for this book, as has her editorial assistant, Thercse Felser.

Finally, I would also like to thank PaukJ. Stanovich, and not just for the emotional support that is mentioned in all acknowledgments.Her concern for all human beings, especially those less fortunate, was an inspiration to all who knew her.We all share the philosophy that all people should have the opportunity to reach their full potential.This book is enough to prove that I have such an opportunity.This opportunity will eventually be available to everyone, including those with disabilities, and Paula's work is making that day come sooner rather than later.
