Nicaragua
Index
The authors would like to acknowledge the contributions
of
Jan Knippers Black, Jack Child, Mary W. Helms, Julian C.
Heriot,
Jr., and Richard L. Millet, who wrote the 1982 edition of
Nicaragua: 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 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; Barbara
Edgerton and Izella Watson, who did word processing; and
Stephen
C. Cranton, and David P. Cabitto who prepared the
camera-ready
copy. In addition, thanks go to Sharon Schultz, who edited
chapters; Beverly Wolpert, who performed the final
prepublication
editorial review; and Joan C. Cook, who compiled the
index.
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;
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.
