Acknowledgments:
Much of the material on these pages has been informed by lectures given at Columbia University by Professors Cathy Popkin, Kathy Eden, and Edward Tayler. In addition, some of the study questions are adapted from material originated by Professor Rachel Adams (also at Columbia). The Web hosting and message board programming are by Chris Snyder. The background inmage you see on this page is also by Mr. Snyder, and was inspired by a landscape of Yayannis Apostolos.
