Late in 2004 I received a telephone call from Helene Potter, director of new product development for Macmillan Reference USA—an imprint of Gale. I did not realize immediately that it was the telephone call that would shape a large share of my intellectual activity for the next three years. In fact, I recall hearing about a new edition of the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences (IESS), but I was wholly unclear about what was being asked of me. I asked Helene, “So what exactly is it you want me to do? Prepare an article or two for the new edition?” Her response was, “No, no. We would like you to serve as editor of the new encyclopedia.
