Many other colleagues and friends provided timely assistance, including, in alphabetical order, Dr. Jing Chen, Ms. Sara Davis, Mr. Terry Graham, Mr. Eric Granquist, Ms. Elizabeth F. Guevara, Mr. Thomas Lytle, Mr. Chesson Olawaiye, Mr. Hector Pineda, Dr. Sandeep Ray, Ms. Christine Starkman, and Ms. Alisha Zou. We would also like to thank Professors Chengjuan Sun and Jamie Jungmin Yoo for their excellent help with translations.
Last but not least, we are profoundly grateful to Professor Victor Mair, general editor of the Cambria Sinophone World Series, the team at Cambria Press, including director Toni Tan and editor David Armstrong for supporting and assisting in the publication of this book, and to our copy editor Dr. Kara Marler-Kennedy, who did a truly outstanding job, working closely with an extremely diverse set of authors from Asia, Europe, and North America, and editing content that was often highly specialized and full of unfamiliar names, titles, and concepts. She has been indispensable to us.
