Landscapes of Fear

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments Writing a book on fear should not be a delightful experience. But it was, for various reasons, one of which is the sheer intellectual pleasure of exploring a large array of sources, ranging from exegeses on fairy tales to treatises on criminal law. To the authors of these specialized works I clearly owe a general debt, which I would like to acknowledge here. Another source of pleasure is the support of numerous friends, colleagues, and students. Among those who kindly supplied me with ideas and references are Michael Albert, R. P. Beckinsale, Mark Bouman, R. W. Chambers, Stephen Daniels, Dennis Dingemans, Tom Engelhardt, Jack Flynn, Philip Gersmehl, Linda Graber, James Hathaway, J. M. Houston, J. B. Jackson, Jane Kelber, C. T.Kuan, Dana Noonan, P.W.Porter, Hugh Prince, R. H. Skaggs, Catherine Smiley, Nigel Thrift, Sze-Fu Tuan, and Ivor Winton.
