Index
The authors would like to acknowledge the contributions of
William B. Mitchell, William A. Bibbiani, Carole E. DuPre, Diane
Fairbank, Janice H. Hopper, Ransford W. Palmer, Theodore L.
Stoddard, and Robert L. Wood, who wrote the 1969 first edition of
Guyana: A Country Study. The present volume incorporates
portions of their work.
The authors are grateful to individuals in various government
agencies and private institutions who gave of their time, research
materials, and expertise in the production of this book. These
individuals include Ralph K. Benesch, who oversees the Country
Studies/Area Handbook Program for the Department of the Army. None
of these individuals, however, is in any way responsible for the
work of the authors.
The authors also would like to thank those people who
contributed directly to the preparation of the manuscript. They
include Sandra W. Meditz, who reviewed drafts, provided valuable
advice on all aspects of production, and conducted liaison with the
sponsoring agency; Marilyn L. Majeska, who reviewed editing and
managed production; and Barbara Edgerton and Izella Watson, who did
the word processing. In addition, Vincent Ercolano and Richard
Kolladge edited the chapters; Catherine Schwartzstein performed the
final prepublication editorial review; Joan C. Cook compiled the
index; and Malinda B. Neale and Linda Peterson of the Library of
Congress Printing and Processing Section performed the
phototypesetting, under the supervision of Peggy Pixley.
Thanks also go to David P. Cabitto, who provided valuable
graphics support and who, along with the firm of Greenhorne and
O'Mara, prepared the maps; and to Wayne Horne, who did the cover
art and chapter illustrations. Finally, the authors acknowledge the
generosity of the individuals and the public and private agencies
who allowed their photographs to be used in this study.
