Index
This edition supersedes North Korea: A Country Study,
published in 1981. The authors wish to acknowledge their use of
portions of that edition in the preparation of the current book.
Various members of the staff of the Federal Research Division
of the Library of Congress assisted in the preparation of the
book. Sandra W. Meditz made helpful suggestions during her review
of all parts of the book. Robert L. Worden also reviewed parts of
the book and made numerous suggestions and points of
clarification. Timothy L. Merrill checked the contents of all the
maps and reviewed the sections on geography and
telecommunications. Rodney P. Katz assisted with the compilation
of several of the maps and also helped to collect research
materials. Thanks also go to David P. Cabitto, who provided
graphics support; Marilyn L. Majeska, who managed editing and
production and edited portions of the manuscript; Andrea T.
Merrill, who provided invaluable assistance with regard to tables
and figures; and Barbara Edgerton, Alberta Jones King, and Izella
Watson, who performed word processing. Alberta Jones King also
assisted with the bibliography.
The authors also are grateful to individuals in various
United States government agencies who gave their time and special
knowledge to provide information and perspective. These
individuals include Ralph K. Benesch, who oversees the Country
Studies/Area Handbook Program for the Department of the Army; Cho
Sung Yoon, Far Eastern Law Division, Library of Congress, who
reviewed parts of the text and answered queries pertaining to the
judicial and the legal systems; and C. Kenneth Quinones of the
Department of State who reviewed the text and also offered many
valuable suggestions and points of clarification. Inkyong Ahn,
Yeonmi Ahn, Paul Dukyong Park, and Key P. Yang of the Library of
Congress Korean Section all provided invaluable assistance in
researching queries. The editor also wishes to thank the staff of
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Mission to the United
Nations for their assistance.
Others who contributed were Ly Burnham, who reviewed the
portions of the text on demography; Tinothy Merrill who assisted
in the preparation of maps and charts; Debra Soled, who edited
portions of the manuscripts; Cissie Coy, who performed the final
prepublication editorial review; and Joan Cook, who prepared the
Index. Linda Peterson of the Library of Congress Composing Unit
prepared camera-ready copy, under the direction of Peggy Pixley.
Most of the photographs were provided by Tracy Woodward, to whom
the editor is extremely grateful, as there are so few travelers
to North Korea.
