Dedication

Saying thank you here can only begin to express my gratitude to my wife, Bonnie, for her unwavering support, encouragement, and understanding over the entire course of my career, from part-time adjunct through living in Japan for doctoral research, decades of administrative duties, uncounted conferences, and now to professor emeritus.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my wife Julie for her kindness, patience and support throughout this decades-long process: from graduate school, to research trips to India, through a college teaching career, and to proofreading my own chapters for this current volume.
