At the end of 2013 we bid a poignant farewell to Dr. Mary Lenn Dixon, our Editor-in-Chief for many years, who was a predominant mentor and editor for an entire generation of both scholars and readers.
This year, we are excited to welcome a new team of acquisition editors led by veteran press editor Shannon Davies. Not only will they continue our tradition of scholarly excellence, but they will expand it to new horizons. We look forward to this new part of the journey in 2014!
