This volume has been a long time in the making, and we have gotten a lot of help from a lot of people. Accordingly, we have a long list of people to thank.
At the top of the list are our contributors, every one of whom did top-notch work for us. Among them, the four members of our advisory board -- Larry Barsalou, Bill Bechtel, David Kirsh, and Rob Wilson -- also assisted us with recruitment and other editorial matters. A number of other people, including several contributors, extended our editorial reach still further by reviewing individual chapters: Pascal Boyer, Philippe Chuard, Bill Clancey, Carl Craver, Chris Eliasmith, Shaun Gallagher, Kent Johnson, Hilary Kornblith, Alan Lambert, Edouard Machery, Eric Margolis, Pascale Michelon, Michael Wheeler, Wayne Wright, and Jeff Zacks. In the final phase, Chris Kahn came to our rescue by agreeing to format the entire manuscript for production, a task that he performed with admirable skill and care.
On the business end, Phil Laughlin, formerly of Cambridge University Press, encouraged us to take on the project and supervised its initial development. His assistant, Armi Macaballug, provided solid support throughout. After Phil left the Press, Eric Schwartz took over supervision of the project and saw it through the home stretch, assisted by Elizabeth Gryska and April Potenciano.
Finally, our nearest and dearest -- Sara and Judah, and Sema and Derya -- helped immeasurably by just being there.
Hearty thanks to all.
