Honduras
Index
The authors would like to acknowledge the contributions
of Mary
W. Helms, Richard L. Millet, James A. Morris, Steve C.
Ropp, and J.
Mark Ruhl, who wrote the 1983 edition of Honduras: 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 is, however, in any way responsible
for the
work of the authors.
The authors also would like to thank those people on
the staff
of the Federal Research Division 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 managed editing and production;
Andrea T.
Merrill, who edited figures and tables; and Barbara
Edgerton and
Izella Watson, who did word processing. In addition,
thanks go to
Mary K. Caruthers, who edited chapters; Beverly Wolpert,
who
performed the final prepublication editorial review; Joan
C. Cook,
who compiled the index; and Linda Peterson of the Library
of
Congress Printing and Processing Section, who performed
the
phototypesetting, under the supervision of Peggy Pixley.
Thanks also go to David P. Cabitto of the Federal
Research
Division, who provided valuable graphics support and who,
along
with the firm of Greenhorne and O'Mara, prepared the maps.
Special
thanks go to Gustavo Arce, who designed the cover and
illustrations
of each title page, and to Harriett R. Blood, who prepared
the
topographic map. 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.
