Acknowledgments

I could not have written this book without the help, support, and

collaboration of a great many people. I owe thanks to all the staff at
Pearson, particularly Matthew Wright, Executive Editor, who is a joy to

work with and who has given me some great opportunities. Karen

Fein, Development Editor, has a gift for language, for editing, and for

bringing out the best in a writer. If this book is better, sharper, clearer,

more vivid, it is due to her influence. I owe a debt of gratitude to Ellen
Macelree, Project Manager; Anne Shure, Program Manager; Tom

DeMarco, Marketing Manager; and Eric Stano, Editor in Chief. It is a

pleasure to work once again with the talented and unflappable

Karen Berry, Production Coordinator at Laserwords Maine. I also

thank Laura Specht Patchkofsky, copyeditor par excellence; and
Julianna Scott Fein, proofreader.

I thank Dr. Amy Berke, Chair of the English Department, and Dr.

Debra Matthews, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts, for helping me

get release time to work on this book. Also, I thank the reviewers,

whose comments helped to shape the most recent edition of the
Wordsmith series. They are Catherine Hodges, Porterville College;
