Other

All portions of the book were reviewed by at least two people other than the author and editor. These “second readers” usually were someone who has a background in the subject and another who has simply a layperson's knowledge of the topic. Many PSC authors served as second readers as did other staff members and a number of people in state government and the private sector; others assisted by providing data and other information. For their help, we are indebted to Ari B. Adler, Rick Asher, Lance Boldrey, Craig Garthwaite, John Harrison, Howard Heideman, David Kimball, Diane Wolfe Levy, Stephen Manchester, David Murley, Randy O'Brien, Sam Singh, James Sinnamon, Sarah Slocum, Gillian Stoltman, Mark Sullivan, Linda Sykes, Donald VeCasey, Tom Weston, Keith Wilson, Bradley Wittman, Jay Wortley, and Rhonda Oyer Zimmerman. In addition, Matthew Ellsworth, Brandy Barnes, Jeramy Donovan, and Dyan Iansiti provided research and other assistance to the PSC authors.
