A book like this cannot be written in isolation. While most of the text found in this manual is original, dozens of similar books and experts were consulted, and many colleagues and friends provided information, feedback, and suggestions. My greatest thanks goes to Nancy Vyhmeister, author of the first AIIAS writing manual, for her willingness to share original content and ideas from her work. Chapter 1 is taken largely from her prior work. She was also instrumental as a consultant for the Turabian chapter and in overall editing of this book. Thanks also to Juanita Bissell, for contributing the basis for the Turabian chapter from her earlier AIIAS Turabian manual. This has been revised, updated, and shortened, but her work is still the basis for Chapter 6. Thanks to Elsie Dela Cruz, Prema Gaikwad, and Esther Papaioannou for their substantial contributions to the APA explanations in Chapter 7. Thanks also to Bonnie Proctor, the editor at Andrews University, for her willingness to share ideas, resources, and materials. By now it is difficult to tell where her ideas end and mine begin, but some of her work is included especially in the introduction, and in the chapters on academic writing conventions, mechanics, APA and Turabian. Her support has been much appreciated.
