Acknowledgments
An effort of this magnitude and duration incurs many debts, and it is a pleasure
for us to thank the many who helped us with the Handbook. We do so knowing,
with some embarrassment, that we will surely overlook others who helped us.
We thank them here first, adding our apologies for forgetting to thank them by
name.
We are very grateful to the Handbook Advisory Board, led by Wiebe Bijker and
Michel Callon, in their capacities as 4S president and Advisory Board chair, respec-
tively, and to Jessie Saul, who coordinated the board’s activities. Wiebe, Michel, and
Jessie, accompanied at times by Wes Shrum, worked openly with us and quietly behind
the scenes on the strategy, substance, and logistics of the Handbook.
