Acknowledgments
The extent to which I am indebted to Erving Goffman is
only partially footnoted in the text. In addition to his published works,
his suggestions, criticisms, and assistance as my dissertation advisor
throughout the course of the study have been invaluable. Appreciation is
also due Harold Witensky and Andie Knutson, who served as members of my
dissertation committee.
Suggestions, advice, criticism, and assistance have come from many quarters.
I should particularly like to thank the Scientific Advisory Council of
Licensed Beverage Industries, Inc., for the grant that supported the collection
of much of the data. To my past associates at the Behavioral Science Project
of the School of Public Health, University of California at Berkeley, particularly
to Joan P. Emerson, Octavio Romano, and Steven Polgar, I am grateful for
many hours of informative discussion and advice. To Christine Peterson,
who typed numerous drafts, a special word of thanks is due, as it is to
Paula Philbrick and Jo Pearson for a variety of forms of administrative
assistance. A word of appreciation is also owed to Don C. Gibbons for the
final preparation of the map.
I am grateful as well to Pat Thalheimer and Martin Hoffman, who helped
with various phases of the field work, and especially to my husband, Phillip
Cavan, for things which are publicly acknowledgeable (such as assistance,
suggestions, criticisms, editing, and encouragement) as well as for things
which are not. |
