Index
The authors are indebted to a number of individuals, without
whose assistance this book would have been much more difficult to
make a reality. Dr. Denis Sinor, Distinguished Professor Emeritus
of the Department of Uralic and Altaic Studies, Indiana
University, made an extremely useful critique of the entire
manuscript, helping the authors and the editors to focus their
efforts more sharply. Mary F. Weidlich of the U.S. Foreign
Broadcast Information Service provided a great deal of invaluable
assistance, translating Mongol-language research materials,
making numerous helpful suggestions on many of the topics
discussed in the book, and reviewing the completed text. Barbara
L. Dash, compiler and editor of The American Bibliography of
Slavic and East European Studies, assisted with abundant
bibliographic citations on Mongolia and Inner Asian affairs as
well as with translations of Russian-language materials used in
compiling maps.
Various staff members of the Library of Congress also
contributed to the research and production of the book. David W.
Tsai, Exchange and Gift Division, supplied current Mongolian
research materials, and Thomas M. Skallerup of the Copyright
Office provided insights on Russian-Mongolian history. The
authors also wish to express their appreciation to members of the
staff of the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress, who
contributed to the preparation of the book. Tracy M. Coleman
provided research assistance and wordprocessing for early book
drafts. Additionally, Irena A. Weiss assisted with Russianlanguage sources used in compiling maps, Carolina E. Forrester
reviewed the maps and the geography section for technical
details, and Stanley M. Sciora researched the military rank and
insignia information. The members of the Graphic Support Unit,
David P. Cabitto, Sandra K. Ferrell, and Kimberly A. Lord,
prepared the layout and the graphics for the book; Ms. Lord
designed the cover and the chapter illustrations. Richard F.
Nyrop reviewed most parts of the book and made valuable
suggestions throughout its development before his retirement.
Sandra W. Meditz, his successor, also made useful contributions
to the later stages of the completed manuscript. Martha E.
Hopkins, at each critical juncture, managed the editing and book
production, as well as editing portions of the text. Barbara
Edgerton and Izella Watson performed wordprocessing.
The following individuals are gratefully acknowledged as well:
Barbara Harrison for editing the body of the book; Carolyn Hinton
for final prepublication editorial review; Shirley Kessel for
preparing the index; and Malinda B. Neale of the Printing and
Processing Section, Library of Congress, for phototypesetting,
under the direction of Peggy Pixley. Those who contributed
photographs used to illustrate the book are acknowledged in the
photo captions.
