Читать книгу Our Social World - Kathleen Odell Korgen - Страница 26

Knowledge is improved through careful, systematic, and constructive criticism. The same is true of all writing. This book is of much greater quality because we had such outstanding critics and reviewers. We, therefore, wish to honor and recognize the outstanding scholars who served in this capacity. These scholars are listed on this page and the next.

People also served in a variety of other capacities, including as authors of our Sociologists in Action pieces and some of our Sociology in Our Social World boxes. David Yamane drafted early versions of the discussion of denominationalism and church polity in the religion chapter. Sandra Enos revised and updated the Contributing to Our Social World: What Can We Do? feature.

All three of us are experienced authors, and we have worked with some excellent people at other publishing houses. However, the team at SAGE Publications was truly exceptional in support, thoroughness, and commitment to this project. Our planning meetings were fun, intelligent, and provocative. Jeff Lasser provided wonderful support as the SAGE sociology publisher. Folks who have meant so much to the quality production of this book include Liza Neustaetter, content development manager, Laureen Gleason, production editor, Mark Bast, copy editor, Tiara Beatty, editorial assistant, Sheri Gilbert, permissions editor, and Kara Kindstrom, senior marketing manager. We have become friends and colleagues with the staff at SAGE Publications. They are all greatly appreciated.
