Support:
I have greatly benefited
from the advice of my numerous colleagues and friends
throughout the world--many of whom are serving as editors and
advisory board members of the Journal. Without
their kind cooperation and encouragement, this ambitious
project could not have come to fruition. I
would like to express my appreciation to
Dr. Dan Dunn,
Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, for
his continued interest and support of the
Journal. My sincere thanks to the GMJ editors,
edition editors, and the advisory board members of all GMJ
editions!
