Colombia
Index
The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of
Howard I.
Blutstein, J. David Edwards, Kathryn Therese Johnston,
David S.
McMorris, and James D. Rudolph, who wrote the 1976 edition
of
Colombia: Country Study. Portions of their work
were
incorporated into the present volume.
The authors are grateful to individuals in various
agencies of
the United States government and private institutions who
gave
their time, research materials, and special knowledge to
provide
information and perspective. None of these agencies or
institutions
is in any way responsible for the work of the authors,
however.
The authors also wish to thank those who contributed
directly
to the preparation of the manuscript. These include
Richard F.
Nyrop, who reviewed all drafts and served as liaison with
the
sponsoring agency; Mimi Cantwell, Sharon Costello, Deanna
D'Errico,
Vincent Ercolano, and Sharon Schultz, who edited the
chapters;
Martha Hopkins, who managed editing and production; and
Barbara
Edgerton, Janie L. Gilchrist, and Izella Watson, who did
the word
processing. Andrea T. Merrill performed the final
prepublication
editorial review, and Shirley Kessell compiled the index.
Malinda
B. Neale of the Library of Congress Printing and
Processing Section
performed phototypesetting, under the supervision of Peggy
Pixley.
David P. Cabitto, who was assisted by Sandra K. Cotugno
and
Kimberly A. Lord, provided invaluable graphics support.
David P.
Cabitto, Kimberly A. Lord, and Harriett R. Blood prepared
the maps.
Sandra K. Cotugno deserves special thanks for designing
the
illustrations for the book's cover and title page of each
chapter.
The authors also would like to thank several
individuals who
provided research support. Arvies J. Staton supplied
information on
military ranks and insignia, and Susan M. Lender wrote the
section
on geography in Chapter 2.
Finally, the authors acknowledge the generosity of
individuals
and the public and private agencies who allowed their
photographs
to be used in this study. They are indebted especially to
those who
contributed original work not previously published and to
Tim
Merrill for his efforts in obtaining many of these
photographs.
