Saudi Arabia
Index
The authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of the
writers of the 1984 edition of Saudi Arabia: 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 in the production of this book.
These individuals included Ralph K. Benesch, who oversees the
Country Studies--Area Handbook program for the Department of the
Army. 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 Sandra W.
Meditz, who reviewed all drafts and served as liaison with the
sponsoring agency; Marilyn Majeska, who supervised editing and
managed book production; Andrea Merrill, who reviewed tables and
figures; and Barbara Edgerton and Izella Watson, who performed
word processing.
Also involved in preparing the text was Peter Tietjen, who
edited chapters; Catherine Schwartzstein, who performed the
prepublication editorial review; and Joan C. Cook, who compiled
the index. Malinda B. Neale of the Library of Congress Composing
Unit prepared the camera-ready copy under the supervision of
Peggy Pixley.
Graphics were prepared by David P. Cabitto, and Timothy L.
Merrill prepared map drafts. David P. Cabitto and the firm of
Greenhorne and O'Mara prepared the final maps. Special thanks are
owed to Farah Ahannavard, who prepared the illustrations on the
title page of each chapter, and David P. Cabitto, who did the
cover art.
Finally, the authors acknowledge the generosity of the Saudi
Arabian Information Office, the Armed Forces Office of the Royal
Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington, and the Saudi Arabian Oil
Company (Saudi Aramco), who allowed their photographs to be used
in this study.
