I thank Leigh H. Fredrickson and Frederic A. Reid of Gaylord Laboratory, University of Missouri - Columbia, who developed the prototype handbook on which this is based and authored the first seven chapters to be produced. William K. Seitz of the Office of Information Transfer first identified the need for this project and continues to ensure that resources are committed to the effort. Karen L Fleming of Auburn University was of enormous assistance in further development of the project.
