Acknowledgments
This book represents the culmination of a research agenda that occupied countless hours, and began more than a decade ago when I was in graduate school. There are many people I wish to thank for aiding me in my intellectual journey. First, I want to thank my wife Mary and sons Frankie and Tommy for their support and love during the long nights and weekends that went into this project. Your love and company have kept me going all these years. Other family I’d like to thank for their support include: Sam, Alissa, Marty, Jon, Kristina, Mom, and Dad. I would also like to thank a number of intellectuals who served as mentors, including: Carlos Parodi, Ali Riaz, Doris Graber, Andy McFarland, Andy Rojecki, Jamal Nassar, and Manfred Steger. I am particularly appreciative to Carlos Parodi, Ali Riaz, Stephen Caliendo, and Andy McFarland for your support over the years as I searched for a permanent academic position. Today’s academic job market is cutthroat, and without your support I would never have made it. To my friends and colleagues who were there for me over the years, I express thanks: Amentahru Wahlrab, Jacob Van Laar, Erik Lisauskas, Erik Abderhalden, Kevin McGee, Grant Smith, Rob Godsill, John Wilson, Paul Fasse, Tony Prudden, Wael Habboub, Zach Gebhardt, Zach Wolfe, Chris McDonald, John Vinzant, Mark Roehrs, John Roberts, Colin Suchland, David Reynolds, and Aaron Berkowitz.
