Index
The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of the
writers of the 1978 edition of Iran: A Country Study, edited
by Richard F. Nyrop. Their work provided general background for the
present volume.
The authors are grateful to individuals in various government
agencies and private institutions who gave of their time, research
materials, and expertise to the production of this book. The
authors also wish to thank members of the Federal Research Division
staff who contributed directly to the preparation of the
manuscript. These people included Thomas Collelo, the substantive
reviewer of all the graphic and textual material; Richard F. Nyrop,
who reviewed all drafts and served as liaison with the sponsoring
agency; Marilyn L. Majeska, who edited chapters; and Martha E.
Hopkins, who edited chapters and managed editing and book
production.
Also involved in preparing the text were editorial assistants
Barbara Edgerton, Nerissa Dixon, Monica Shimmin, and Izella Watson;
Vincent Ercolano and Ruth Nieland, who edited chapters; Carolyn
Hinton, who performed the prepublication editorial review; and
Shirley Kessell of Communicators Connection, who compiled the
index.
Graphics were prepared by David P. Cabitto, assisted by Sandra
K. Cotugno. Harriett R. Blood and Kimberly A. Lord reviewed the map
drafts, and Greenhorne and O'Mara prepared the final maps. Special
thanks are owed to Theresa E. Kamp, who designed the cover artwork
and the illustrations on the title page of each chapter. Diann
Johnson, of the Library of Congress Composing Unit, prepared the
camera-ready copy under the supervision of Peggy Pixley.
The authors would like to thank several individuals who
provided research and operational support. Afaf S. McGowan obtained

Gwendolyn B. Batts performed word-processing.
Finally, the authors acknowledge the generosity of the many
individuals and public and private agencies who allowed their
