ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
T
his volume would not exist if not for the encouragement and
direction of Todd Armstrong, Editor from Sage Publications.
Along with help from Deya Saoud and Camille Herrera, we had an easy
time bringing the The SAGE Handbook of Nonverbal Communication
into being. We are grateful for the careful copy editing work of Linda
Gray and to the always diligent Astrid Virding for guiding the manuscript
through production. We also thank our wonderful authors for their
extensive work on these chapters. Authors provided several drafts of
their chapters, responding wonderfully to our often demanding feed
back. Because there is such demand for their expertise in contributing
to a wide variety of publications, we appreciate their efforts even more.
Valerie and Miles would like to thank our respective departments—
Communication at the University of Washington and Psychology at the
University of Missouri, St. Louis—for their support throughout this
process. More important, we would like to thank our respective fami
lies for their constant support and patience: Chuck and Cameron
McSween and Dianne and Kevin Patterson.
SAGE Publications gratefully thanks the following reviewers: Mark
L. Knapp, Jesse H. Jones Centennial Professor in Communication and
UT Distinguished Teaching Professor, University of Texas at Austin;
Susanne M. Jones, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities; Ross Buck,
University of Connecticut; and Peter A. Andersen, San Diego State
University.
