Mauritania
Index
The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of Brian
Dean Curran and Joann Schrock, who coauthored the earlier edition
of Mauritania: A Country Study. Their work provided the
organizational outline for the present volume as well as
substantial portions of the text. The authors are also grateful
to those individuals in various public and private agencies who
contributed photographs, research materials, and invaluable time
and expertise to the production of this book.
The authors wish to thank members of the Federal Research
Division staff who contributed directly to the preparation of the
text. Thomas Collelo edited drafts, photographs, and maps;
Richard F. Nyrop reviewed all drafts and provided guidance;
Barbara Auerbach, Sharon Costello, Barbara Dash, and Ruth Nieland
edited the manuscript; Andrea T. Merrill performed the final
prepublication review; and Shirley Kessel prepared the index.
Marilyn L. Majeska managed editorial production. Also involved in
preparing the text were Gwendolyn Brown Batts, Barbara Edgerton,
and Izella Watson. Diann Johnson of the Library of Congress
Composing Unit prepared the camera-ready copy, under the
supervision of Peggy Pixley.
Lending timely and invaluable graphics support were Thomas
Collelo, Carolina E. Forrester, and David P. Cabitto, who
reviewed draft maps from which Greenhorn and O'Mara and Harriett
R. Blood prepared the final maps. Additional thanks are due also
to David P. Cabitto, who designed the cover artwork and the
illustrations on the title page of each chapter and who, assisted
by Sandra K. Cotugno and Kimberly A. Lord, prepared charts and
graphs.
The authors also wish to thank several individuals who
provided research and operational support. Meridel Jackson was
instrumental in adapting software to the authors' word-processing
needs. Naomi Greer helped prepare bibliographies and, with
Patricia Rigsbee, assisted in research.
Finally, the authors thank Madam Turkia Ould Daddah, cultural
affairs officer of the Embassy of Mauritania in Washington, D.C.,
for providing photographs used in the text and for sharing her
expertise.
